Twenty-six-year-old Kingston resident Andre Murray, otherwise called ‘Andrew Blacks’, was charged with murder and illegal possession of firearm and ammunition following an incident on Wild Street, Kingston 4 last month.

Murray was charged in connection with the murder of 37-year-old Ricardo Edwards, otherwise called ‘Tego’ of Wild Street in the parish.

The police say that about 3:35 p.m., Edwards was in his yard when he was allegedly attacked and shot by Murray and another man.

The police were summoned and on their arrival Edwards was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

During an operation, Murray was subsequently arrested and charged on Thursday, June 30; his court date has not been finalised.

Lawmen continue their probe to apprehend the other individual involved in the incident.
