The police say one of the three men fatally shot on Tuesday morning during a reported confrontation with the police in St. James, is linked to Friday night's murder of social media personality, 23-year-old Marvin Samuels, also known as "41 Busshead," of Rose Heights.
He has been identified as Alex McGhie, otherwise called "Scampy", the reputed leader of the Hellgate Gang in Rose Heights.
Assistant Commissioner Glenford Miller, Commanding Officer for the Area One police, told Radio Jamaica News that McGhie is a key player in the violence in Rose Heights.
Following Friday's killing of the TikToker, a house was shot up and two other people shot in Rose Heights on Saturday morning.
The shootings have been linked to three gangs fighting for turf -- Hellgate, G-6 and 614 gangs.
ACP Miller said three firearms were seized during Tuesday morning's operation in the troubled community of Hell's Gate, Orange district.
He said McGhie was the main target of the operation.
He added that McGhie has been linked to serious crimes in St. James, including murders and shootings.
