Lawmen assigned to the Kingston Central Police Division have charged to men for the stabbing death of 19-year-old Jovean Storridge, of Melbrook Heights in Harbour View, on May 31.
Thirty-three-year-old Anthony Howell, of Antonia Drive, Red Hills, St. Andrew, and 33-year-old Lane Legister, of Tower Street, Kingston, were charged with murder and assaulted common law.
The police say that sometime after 11 o'clock on May 31, Storridge was walking along the roadway when he was approached by Howell armed with his licensed firearm and Legister armed with a knife.
Howell reportedly pointed his firearm at Storridge, who in an attempt to escape injuries, raised his hands during which Legister allegedly used his knife to stab him in the upper body.
Storridge ran to escape further injuries but was chased and beaten by both men.
He was assisted to the hospital by residents where he died while undergoing treatment.
A report was made to the police and both men were apprehended and taken into custody.
They were subsequently charged after a question and answer session in the presence of their attorney.
