Lawmen release a list of the 16 most wanted and at the top of the list is a man they believe is becoming the crime boss in western Kingston.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Wednesday November 17, 2010 – The man believed to be filling the spot of west Kingston crime boss now that Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke is gone is at the top of the list of the country’s most wanted.
Police say Omar ‘Fowl’ Miller is now know as the interim leader of the Tivoli Gardens Gang.
Coke was caught in June, a few weeks after a battle between his supporters and the security forces in Tivoli Gardens and surrounding areas, and subsequently extradited to the US where he has been charged with drug dealing and gun running. Miller, who moved out of the community just before police and soldiers went in search of Coke is said to be trying to take over.
“He is also attempting to retrieve weapons from gang members that were issued by the leadership of the gang in preparation for the confrontation with security forces in May of this year, but this is being resisted by the members. He is also influencing criminal activities within the Kingston Western Division,” Deputy Superintendent Arthur Brown told a press conference yesterday as the names of the wanted men were released.
Others on the list include “the number one gang leader in St Andrew Central”, Christopher "Dog Paw" Linton who has eluded several police dragnets.
Superintendent Derrick Knight told reporters that Linton has no regard for lawmen.
“Even when information or messages are sent to him to come in, the reply is ‘Yu haffi get pass mi gun’,” he said, adding that the gang leader’s weapon of choice is the AK-47.
The senior officer added that Linton’s organizing ability is “almost second to none in terms of influencing the youths and the citizens in the August Town area”.
Linton is also alleged to be a significant player in the extortion activities in and around August Town and Papine, in the southeastern parish of St Andrew.
Of the 16 people on the list, 10 are being sought in connection with murder while the others are wanted for shootings.
The other 14 on the list are: Colin Hugh Brooks, Ricardo Wright, Nicholas Hayman, Allando Hibbert, Steve Dudley alias Lance Edwards-Stone, Randy Rodman aka ‘Cardo’, Andre ‘Harry Dawg’ Marsden, Delroy ‘Pops’ Dennis, Patrick Salmon alias ‘Speedy, Tremaine ‘Piggy’ Lindsay, Sheldon Rowe, Carl Stewart who is also known as ‘Cougar’ or ‘Sheriff’, Justin Berry, and Andre Thomas.
