Gun battle, roadblocks in Kingston force cops to issue warning
KINGSTON, Jamaica – The police are advising the public to stay away from the vicinity of Darling Street and Spanish Town Road in downtown Kingston.
In a news release a short while ago, the police’s Corporate Communications Unit said rival factions have been engaged in a gun battle in the area following the murder of a man about 4:20 pm today on Chestnut Lane in downtown Kingston.
The police say roadblocks have been mounted in the mentioned vicinity, hampering vehicular traffic so motorists are urged to take alternative routes.
Police officers are reportedly on the scene to restore calm and carry out the necessary investigations.

I drove pass the Coronation yesterday about 4 pm only to drive back through there near 5:00 pm and realize there was a traffic pile up. I was very upset thinking that the indiscipline bus drivers and were impeding traffic again only to realize that it was police diverging traffic and place block off with yellow tape, I eventually reached back on Sp Twn Rd. and realize that at the top of Darling St. was a dead body, I initially thought it was a female but later found out it was a male.
This was frightening because I shop there almost every Saturday and odd times during the week if I was unable to go on the Saturday.
The odd thing is that people were walking up and down going about there business like this shit is normal
Big back to sch time them come wid di foolishness. Shoppers need them items and the sellers a look them kids sch money
It is just sad know that there is all this going on over in that section… I really hope the police gets a handle on this and the killings stop….
