As relatives marked one week since the shooting death of father-of-two Jason Johnson, police and crime scene detectives returned to Bronze Road on Sunday night to appeal for information and witnesses.
Johnson, 36, was shot and killed outside his Bronze Road home on Sunday, 27 Oct.
Armed with flyers containing Johnson’s photo, officers stopped cars entering and leaving the area and met with residents who may have known him.
The officers visited the area around the same time the incident would have happened on 27 Oct. in the hope that they would encounter individuals who may have been there when Johnson was shot.
The Jamaican national was standing outside his George Town home around 8:30pm when he was shot in what is suspected to be a case of mistaken identity.
The construction worker, originally from St. Thomas, Jamaica, was pronounced dead at George Town Hospital.
The father of two girls, 11 and 16, has been described as a hard worker.
His relatives said they have been left with questions as to why Johnson was killed.
Johnson’s death takes Cayman’s murder toll to three for 2024.
Search for suspect continues
Newlands resident Romario Davis has been identified as a suspect in the shooting death of the father of two.
As of Monday afternoon, Davis, 34, remained at large and police are appealing to the public for information to locate him.
Police, in a previous statement, said Davis was known “to be violent and is believed to be armed and dangerous”.
The public is being advised not to approach Davis, who goes by the aliases of Mario Davis, Romario Brown, Baruks and Bar Roots.
Anyone who sees him should call 911, police said.
Davis is described as approximate 5’11”, of dark brown complexion and low-cut, black hair.
“The appeal for witnesses remains and the investigation continues, including ultimately locating, and apprehending the suspect,” the RCIPS told the Cayman Compass on Monday via email.
Davis, who was last known to be living in Newlands, frequents Webb Road in George Town.
“Investigators are encouraging anyone with information about the whereabouts of this man to call 9-1-1 specifically if the circumstances are time sensitive or the Major Incident Room (MIR) on 649 2930,” the RCIPS said.
The police are reminding the public that according to the Police Act (2021 Revision), it is an offence to obstruct, mislead or act in such a way as to prevent the apprehension of a person who has committed an offence.
If prosecuted under this section, “you may be liable on conviction to a fine of $5000 or imprisonment for two years or both,” an RCIPS statement said.
