Information given to police by witnesses led them to the recent arrest of a suspect in the shooting death of Black Roses Crew member, Ice.
According to The Star, the suspect, whose name has not yet been released by police, has not yet been officially charged, He was taken into custody on last Saturday. He has however been identified as a labourer from the Waltham Park Road area.
Ice, whose real name is David Alexander Smith, died from gun shot wounds inflicted on him just after he left a bar on Newark Avenue in Kingston where he went to buy cigarettes on Boxing Day.
Investigations are continuing and police have further revealed that it appeared as if the dancers car had been in an accident.
The suspect already had a shooting charge pending for another case and a condition of his bail was to report to police regularly. While reporting recently, he was held by police, following information that linked him to a robbery and further to the murder of Ice.
Reports disclosed that the suspect had been implicated in a case of aggravated robbery. While the suspect was at the police station, the robbery complainant and victim, who was also there, noticed a watch on the suspects arm that he identified as his.
The labourer was detained and interviewed. Police investigators felt justified in holding him following the interview. Reports say he will be interviewed further and then charged shortly.
Getting to the bottom of the violent demise of Ice is inevitable and his fans are anxious to put closure to the entire situation. The beloved dancer was the creator of the dance, Gully Creeper made popular at the Beijing Olympics by Usain Bolt, who did the dance after his historical win.
