(Jamaica Gleaner) Residents of the community of Maroon Town in south St James were yesterday cowering in fear following a string of violent incidents that escalated on Wednesday night and left a young couple gunned down at their business place in the area.
They are 36-year-old electrician Easton ‘Bryan’ Chambers and his pregnant 19-year-old common-law wife, Shantel Davis, who was due to give birth to his child later this month.
“Me frustrated because I grow him from six and know him never commit any wrong and always looking ways to move forward, always have a business mind,” said Easton’s uncle, Michael Chambers.
“How this country must run without creative people? The gunshot that she get cause the baby to protrude from her stomach when they moving her. Oh God, man!”
The callous nature of the act, which occurred about 9:30 p.m. in the area of the community known as Dundee, was reportedly carried out by two armed men.
