More than two years after the murder of his son, 60-year-old Gerard Forde says he isn’t convinced that the Government’s strategy to introduce Zones of Special Operations (ZOSOs) to target criminals in designated areas will yield any results.

Forde’s son, Brandon Forde, 23, was one of four men gunned down during a drive-by shooting on Belmont Circular Road in October 2023.

Also killed were Brandon Padmore, Chivon Clarke, and Kerron Moore.
