Police in St. Joseph are investigating the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old male after being alerted by two men who stumbled upon the victim.

Around 5 p.m. on Monday, officers driving along Maracas Royal Road noticed a silver Fielder wagon traveling at high speed southbound near Poolside No.1. The vehicle was flagged down by the driver and passenger, who reported that their nephew had been shot and was in need of urgent medical attention.

The victim, later identified as Jabari Liston Williams of Guaratta Hill, was transported to the Eric Williams Medical Science Complex, where he was pronounced dead at 5:15 p.m. Williams, described as a slim-built young man with a chest tattoo reading “Chaos”, had suffered gunshot wounds.
