St Catherine Circuit accused found guilty of shooting and robbing a cop
A St Catherine Circuit Court Judge found a man guilty of robbery and firearm-related offenses when he appeared before the court on October 16, 2026. The accused allegedly shot and robbed a police officer of his motorcycle and service pistol in Portmore, St Catherine, four years ago.
Authorities have identified the convicted man as Javon Marshall,
The court found Marshall guilty of illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition, using a firearm to commit a felony, wounding with intent to murder and robbery with aggravation.
Justice Yvonne Brown remanded Marshall in custody until January 22, 2027, when she will deliver the sentence.
The Crown presented evidence indicating that on February 14, 2022, the officer was riding his motorcycle along Municipal Boulevard in Portmore.
Marshall shot the police constable in the back, then robbed him of his motorcycle and service pistol before throwing him into nearby bushes.
Two days later, two men found the injured officer in the bushes. Then, they assisted him to the Spanish Town Hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition. The authorities subsequently transferred him to the Kingston Public Hospital.
Law enforcement conducted an intensive investigation, which led to Marshall’s arrest and subsequent charging.
