Man killed in confrontation with police identified

Following reports of a shoot-out between the police and armed men in the vicinity of the Bog Walk Gorge in St Catherine on Wednesday, a man who was fatally shot during the altercation has been identified. 

He is Damaine Elleston who, the police say, was out on bail for illegal possession of a firearm at the time he met his demise.

Meanwhile, the two suspects who were allegedly inside the ill-fated vehicle are still being sought. 

 A 17-year-old  female of a Kingston address who was held during the incident has been arrested.

The incident followed the killing of Riversdale resident  Dewain Brown, otherwise  called  "Telma Bwoy".

It is believed the men who got into the altercation with the police, are the men responsible for Brown's killing.
