“Thanks to the Government of Jamaica, Andrew Holness, Daryl Vaz, all the immigration officers at Piarco Airport who stayed up all night to accommodate me, @johnnykbravoofficial, @bunjigarlin, @fayannlyons, @kweisidaniel, and all the rest of my Trini links.

Clarendon deliveryman charged for shooting policeman.
A 27-year-old deliveryman, Kirk Messam, also known as ‘Neko,’ from Inverness Drive in Sandy Bay, Clarendon, has been charged with the shooting of a police constable and another individual on July 26, 2024. The authorities have accused Messam of two counts of wounding with intent, unauthorized possession of ammunition, possession of a prohibited weapon, and using a prohibited weapon to commit a felony.
Reportedly, the incident took place around 8:30 p.m. while the policeman was attending a church event at Inverness Drive. Upon hearing explosions nearby, he went to investigate and found himself under heavy gunfire, resulting in him and another individual sustaining injuries. The perpetrators fled the scene.
The police initiated an investigation which led to the identification of Messam as a suspect, and he surrendered to the police in the presence of his attorney on August 2, 2024. The authorities have indicted him, and his court date is pending.
