No arrest yet in Saturday morning shooting death

Police are yet to charge anyone for the Saturday, May 6 early morning shooting of Pole Yard, Arnos Vale/Rillan Hill resident Jamarlo “Ice” Dunbar.

Dunbar was shot and Killed in Arnos Vale last Saturday around 4.30 a.m.

Reports are that Dunbar, originally from Rillan Hill but who lived in Pole Yard, knew he was marked for death but still ventured out despite warnings, even attending the popular night spot Tree House, the morning he was killed.

According to witnesses, on the morning of his death, Dunbar was chased and shot by his assailant. After he fell on the main road in the vicinity of the bridge that leads to the decommissioned E.T Joshua Airport, his shooter fired several more rounds into him, making sure he was dead before making good his escape.

Dunbar, the 16th homicide victim here for this year, was known to the police and over the years had several run-ins with the law.

He was a friend of Jomo “Top Dog” Brudy who died in a hail of bullets a few weeks earlier on Tuesday, April 11.

Dunbar was at the scene when Brudy was shot in Pole Yard but fled as the gunman pumped rounds into Brudy. The police were trying to find Dunbar after Brudy’s death but were unsuccessful.
