Less than a week after being released from prison on bail, 20 year-old Joshua Alexander of 1st Avenue Jackson, St. Michael was shot and killed last night.

In 2019 Alexander was charged with the murder of meteorologist Emelien Peter.

Police say around 8:45 PM Alexander was sitting with three other family members in the verandah at his residence when a lone gunman approached.

Several shots were fired and the deceased was found with a wound to his head.

When Starcom Network News visited the area residents were shocked at the events.
