Victim: James “Junior” Lawes, 26.

Date and location of murder: March 19, 2010, Dundonald Street, Hamilton.

Circumstances: Mr Lawes, a 26-year-old Jamaican national who was just four months married, was shot outside his apartment building near Place’s Place bar.

A father of one, Mr Lawes had been chatting with a group of men shortly before 11pm when a motorcycle approached during a bustling Friday night.

The vehicle had already pursued another man, who managed to escape on foot on Court Street.

The vehicle mounted the sidewalk near the group at the entrance to the Dundonald Street apartments. The pillion passenger got off the bike and fired 11 shots, hitting Mr Lawes and wounding two other men.

The victim was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries a day later.

The weapon used was forensically linked to other murders, including the killing of Troy “Yankee” Rawlins on August 9, 2010.

Police said Mr Lawes had no gang affiliation and that the shooting appeared “indiscriminate”.
