Victim: Shaundae Jones, 20,
Date and location of murder: April 27, 2003, near Club Malabar in Dockyard.
Circumstances: Mr Jones was shot at point-blank range in Dockyard as he left the Club Malabar nightclub with friends at about 3am. The assailant emerged from the crowd, ran to the car he was about to enter, and opened fire.
Mr Jones, from Warwick, was fatally shot once in the chest. His killer fled the scene.
The Bermuda College student had given evidence three months earlier about the 2001 stabbing death of Tekle Mallory at Ice Queen, in Paget.
His murder, which shocked the community, was seen by the Bermuda Police Service as the catalyst that spurred tit- for-tat cycles of violence and murder over subsequent years.
Charges were later dropped against a man, extradited from Jamaica in connection with the case, after a key witness failed to testify.
The victim’s mother, Marsha Jones, has remained a consistent advocate for people to come forward and work with police in the island’s cycle of murders
