The shooting death of a man, whose Cayman Islands passport had previously been sold on the black market, has been ruled an unlawful killing by the coroner’s court.
During the Friday, 20 Oct. session, the jury was presented with the details surrounding Dougmore Wright’s killing, which still remains unsolved.
Wright, 44, was gunned down shortly after 10pm on 6 March 2018, while walking along Prospect Drive.
Four years after he was shot dead, Wright’s passport was intercepted by Customs and Border Control officers at Owen Roberts International Airport, when Dennis Augustus Ramsay attempted to use the travel document to travel to Honduras.
The matter was further complicated following the revelation that Ramsay, a Jamaican national, had acquired Wright’s passport in 2016 – two years prior to his death.
During his Summary Court hearing in 2022, Ramsay, through his attorney Dennis Brady, told the court that he had arrived in Cayman in 2008 and was employed on a work permit until 2012, when his then employer allegedly required him to start paying for his own permit.
Ramsay was sentenced to two years in prison in November 2022, following guilty pleas to charges of overstaying and possession of an altered travel document.
He has not been charged in connection with Wright’s death.
