MONTEGO BAY, St James — The mother of a teen boy who was fatally shot as a police team ended operations in Granville on Mother’s Day did not have much to say Monday as her neighbours protested. But every word she uttered dripped with grief and anger.

“Mi son surrendered to them. You tell the little man to hold up his hand and you still shoot him,” lamented the woman.

“Police them fi go weh, we want justice in Granville!” she added, her voice rising.
