Victim: Che Jennings, 24.
Date and location of murder: April 7, 2022, Warwick Workmen’s Club, Warwick.
Circumstances: Mr Jennings lost his life just after an Easter event at the club on Cobbs Hill Road that was attended by about 100 children and their families.
He was fatally shot in the club’s parking lot at about 8.30pm.
The murder came swiftly on the heels of the shooting of Laje Franklin, but police did not believe the two to be related.
Investigators said they wanted to hear from anyone who might have seen two men on a white motorcycle, heading east on Middle Road in Warwick, shortly after 8.30pm.
The rider wore a red jacket, while the passenger had on a yellow jacket. Police released a CCTV clip showing the vehicle in transit.
Police did not specify gang motives, but described a splintering of the island’s main criminal gangs post-2014, with more factions willing to resort to gun crime.
