"... it could be as senseless as wanting to eliminate a witness to a robbery, perhaps a witness to a robbery that actually went to the police. "
RG, this could very well be what happened in this case as well as others where good people have been targeted, seemingly for no reason. Let's hope these thugs are in jail. Or is that just wishful thinking? It just boggles the mind how many of these guys just seem to "escape into the bush."
Not wanting to hijack this tragic thread but it needs to be mentioned that Marvin Gay was shot to death by his own father. Another senseless loss of a good man.
Knew Colin from my days of living on Hylton Ave. always stopped by for a fresh party or loaf and bottle of water on my way to the beach and then for supplies on my way home. He was such a kind man and will be missed greatly by many.
RIP Colin and prayers being sent out to his family, friends and community.
I did not know him. Have never been to Out of Town Pastry but my heart hurts. There is so much bad news lately I am ready to turn my computer off and crawl in a hole. RIP.

People die, sometimes senselessly. Justice in Jamaica is fleeting and uncertain, so it's hard to find closure and move on. Without justice the anger and hurt either implode or explode and cycle of violence continues.
There must be another BEAUTIFUL and GOD fearing place on the planet where senseless murder and abuse of the weak and helpless are common, WITHOUT much hope for justice. Where? My brother-in-law was murdered in the US but there was a trail and conviction and in time healing.
So sad his daughter had to witness his murder. I know exactly what she is going through....my Dad was taken away from us.....I am slowly healing sometimes I think my Mom will never heal....you can taste and feel the hate.....but finally hit home you have to let go of all that hate to move on and heal. Condolence to the family
terrible..another senseless killing..a very good man and family....its one thing when thugs kill their own but another when its a stand up guy from the community who everyone knows and admires... I'm telling you, Jam going down further in the gutter with all the tiefing and killing... and exactly Macy...never is there any justice...which begs to ask the question: so what's to deter someone from criminal acts....??? exactly!!! nothing....
