Spragga Benz's son shot dead

As the euphoria surrounding the emphatic performance of the athletes at the Olympiad dissipates, the country’s murder rate continues to steamroll ahead at a record pace. The latest victim is the 17 year-old Carlton Grant, son of entertainer Spragga Benz, who was shot and killed by police last night.


Reports from CCN are that about 11:50 p.m., members of a police party were on patrol along Church Street when two men were seen on a bicycle. They were signalled to stop and they complied. On approach of the lawmen one of the men pulled a gun and fired at the Police. The fire was returned and the men ran. The area was searched and Grant was found suffering from gunshot wounds. A .45 semi-Automatic pistol serial number N338142 was taken from him. The injured Grant was taken to the Kingston Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
