3 more held in relation to Cardiff Hall fatal shooting

Police have arrested three more men, in connection with a fatal shooting and robbery incident, at a villa in Cardiff Hall, Runaway Bay, St. Ann last Thursday.

Two of the three men were picked up this morning (July 10).

This brings to four, the number of persons arrested in connection with the deadly attack.

36 year-old Gavin Campbell (a Jamaican national living overseas) was shot and killed at the villa where his family was hosting a reunion.
Police say members of the force's chaplaincy unit have since administered counselling to the traumatized family.

Reports are that last Thursday, a group of family members was having a reunion, when gunmen approached the relatives and demanded money, mobile phones and jewellery.

Some of the family members resisted and during a tussle, Campbell was shot and killed.

Police say one of the alleged gunmen, who was seriously wounded during the incident, later turned up at hospital and was held by the police.
