A suspect wanted for multiple murders in Jamaica was handed over to their authorities earlier today, said Customs and Border Control officials.
In a brief statement, released earlier on Wednesday, 27 July, a CBC spokesperson said Rudolph Almando Shaw was “escorted” out of Cayman by police and CBC officers.
“The Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control (CBC) Service has confirmed that Rudolph A. Shaw was removed from the Cayman Islands in accordance with section 101(3) of the Customs and Border Control Act, 2021 Revision,” reads the statement in part.
Shaw, 30, also known as ‘Boxa’ has been described by senior Jamaican police as a leading member of the Wildlife Gang, and is a prime suspect in at least three killings.
Update: Rudolph Shaw otherwise called ‘Boxer’ or ‘Boxa’ is now in the custody of the Jamaican Police.
He was deported to Jamaica today, after he was Captured in the Cayman Islands on Friday, July 8.

Fitz Bailey, Jamaica’s assistant commissioner of police, counter-terrorism and organised crime, told the Cayman Compass last week that Shaw is considered a dangerous fugitive.
He said, “He is a vicious criminal and a person who is not afraid to use violence if the need arises.
“We want him to face justice. There are victims of crime that are anticipating closure for the crimes that have been committed against their family members.”
It is unclear when Shaw first arrived in Cayman, however he was taken into custody on 8 July following a brief pursuit by armed police, during which he rammed the car he was driving into a police car and then attempted to flee, before being caught.
Shaw was originally arrested on suspicion of illegal landing, for which he was eventually charged.
But on Tuesday, 26 July, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions withdrew that charge, Shaw’s attorney Prathna Bodden told the Compass.
Bodden said, when they were made aware of Shaw’s pending departure, they opposed the transfer, but it was done despite the opposition.
The other suspect, who was travelling with Shaw at the time of his arrest on 8 July, has been described as approximately 5 feet, 9 inches in height, of slim build and dark complexion, with short hair. At the time, he was wearing blue jeans and a white sleeveless shirt.
He remains at large.
