Tension was said to be high in the tough Portmore communities of Newlands and Naggo Head last night, following the police killing of a reputed area don, Dante Morris, who was said to be involved in the slaying of Corporal Miguel Cuffe earlier yesterday.

According to police reports, at about 11 a.m. yesterday morning, they went on Whyte Lane in Naggo Head in search of persons believed to be involved in Cuffe’s murder. When they approached a certain house on Whyte Lane, they were reportedly greeted with gunfire. They returned fire, and Morris was hit. An illegal gun was reportedly seized at the scene.

Residents however are denying the police version of the incident, and claim that Morris was asleep when he was shot. Residents blocked sections of the main road in Naggo Head with debris in protest, but these roadblocks were quickly removed by the police.
