INDECOM commences investigations into three fatal shootings on the weekend

INDECOM has started investigations into three separate police fatal shooting incidents on the weekend, increasing the total to 19 Security Force fatal incidents so far this month.

The three fatal shooting incidents occurred in Rocky Point, Clarendon; Rockfort, Kingston East and Nain, St. Elizabeth, resulting in the death of three men.

Two firearms were recovered in separate incidents.

INDECOM, in a statement on the matter, revealed that it is seeking to determine if the necessary, justifiable, and proportionate use of force was used in each circumstance.

The investigative agency is again calling for use of body-worn cameras by members of  the Jamaica Constabulary Force.

It said capturing of video footage by civilians in at least one incident on the weekend, has supported a clearer appreciation of the circumstances.

It is urging members of the public to share such evidence with INDECOM Investigators.
