Dancehall artiste Gaza Tussan, a co-accused in the murder trial of Clive “Lizard” Williams and a former member of Vybz Kartel’s Portmore Empire, was reportedly killed during an alleged confrontation with police in Portmore, St Catherine, on Saturday.

The 37-year-old deceased, whose given name was Shane Williams, had been publicly listed by the St Catherine South police as a person of interest in 2023. Police confirmed the fatal shooting.

“Williams, who was otherwise known as Gaza Tussaint or Teachable, was fatally shot during a confrontation with the cops about 3:45 am in Cumberland,” a representative of the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s Corporate Communications Network told Observer Online.
