Police are hunting for a deejay, following the shooting of two people at a stage show at the Greater Portmore High School, St Catherine on Saturday night.
Patrons attending the event, had to run for cover as gunshot rang out in the wee hours of the morning, following a disagreement between the deejay and another entertainer, police told THE STAR yesterday.
Up to late last night the Portmore police declined to release the name of the deejay being sought. They have also declined to release the name of the other entertainer with whom he had the confrontation.
The injured people have been admitted to hospital in serious but stable conditions, the police said.
Reports are that about 4 a.m. both entertainers were on stage when an argument developed between them. The police said, during the confrontation one of the men pulled a firearm and fired several shots at the other who, along with patrons scampered for cover.
In the aftermath, the two men were found suffering from gunshot wounds and were rushed to hospital. The names of the men are being withheld by the investigators.
Sadeke Brooks, Staff Reporter Mavado will be trekking to Gaza territory, in Portmore, tomorrow in an attempt to put an end to the Gully-Gaza feud at an event called 'I Come In Peace'.
Speaking with THE WEEKEND STAR yesterday, Dr Japheth Ford, chairman of the National Action Coalition that is putting on the event, said he hopes the celebration will open the Christmas season in peace and harmony.
"If the two of them (Mavado and Vybz Kartel) take that step forward, we will have the beginning of them coming together," Ford said, while noting that he hopes the event will put the feud into perspective. "We can't allow the Gully-Gaza feud to derail the country."
Already, Mavado has been contracted to perform at the event. However, Vybz Kartel, who is from Portmore, has only been invited to attend. But Ford said he did not speak with him directly but with his publicist Claude Mills, who confirmed his attendance.
If Vybz Kartel does not show up at the event, Ford said, he would like to stage another celebration to get them together.
"If he doesn't show, we will have another event and invite him to Gully territory," he said.
Ford also said that the police and some political representatives will be in attendance.
After the event, he said further talks are expected between both artistes.
