Martin “Jahson” James, a man known to law enforcement, was shot dead in Villa, becoming the 39th homicide of 2024. He had a history of violent crimes and public disputes. This shooting was his second gun attack, following his controversial comments in 2017 regarding a local ‘war’ involving his enemies.
Over the weekend in Villa, a man known to law enforcement, Martin “Jahson” James, was shot and killed on Saturday night, October 5, 2024. His tragic death marks the 39th homicide in the country for this year. James, who had been deported from the USA over twenty years ago due to violent crimes, was 53 years old at the time of his death.
This incident marks the second gun attack on James. He was known for being outspoken and had attracted media attention several times. Notably, in November 2017, he stated to a reporter outside the Calliaqua Magistrate’s Court that a “war” was ongoing in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, identifying two brothers from Paul’s Avenue as his enemies.
During his 2017 interview, James had just left the courthouse after being charged, along with Ricardo “Shrek” McFee, with the 2016 shooting death of a 10-month-old child named Mozari and attempted murder charges against the child’s parents and another individual. At present, the police have yet to issue any statement regarding his recent shooting death.
In summary, Martin “Jahson” James, a well-known figure to the police and the subject of previous violent crime allegations, was fatally shot at his home in Villa. His death adds to the rising homicide rate in the country and comes after a history of legal troubles and public statements about violence in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The police have not commented on the incident as of now.
