The main suspect in the shooting of Voicemail member Oneil Edwards was found dead yesterday while a second suspect was picked up in Manchester late Tuesday night.

Police said the man clad in green short pants, white T-shirt and blue slippers was found with several gunshot wounds in Chancery Hall, St Andrew, hours after he eluded a Corporate Area police dragnet. His name was not released.

The Manchester police reportedly picked up the second suspect who was taken to Kingston.

Edwards was shot several times shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday as he entered his Belloc Avenue home in Duhaney Park.

Police sources told THE STAR after the incident that they were probing two possible motives for the attack.

altercation

The first one was that the artiste had an altercation with some men after he refused to give them money.

The men are said to have damaged his vehicle and he later made a report to the police. This is said to have angered the men. It is believed that the same men are the ones that carried out the attack. The second argument suggests that the recent staging of Edward's birthday celebrations had not gone well with thugs from a St Andrew community.

Edwards remains in critical condition in hospital.
