A St Michael youth was gunned down in a hail of bullets in a drive-by shooting on Sunday night.

Shaquille Greenidge, 23, of 61 Kensington Lodge, was riding a motorcycle between Kings Street and Chapman Street around 7:20 p.m. when a car pulled up and a number of masked men opened fire on him, killing him on the spot.

The young father of a baby girl had a history of trouble as he was arrested as he attempted to enter the Magistrates’ Court with a loaded gun. On June 16, 2016, Greenidge was stopped while entering the compound of the District “A” Magistrates’ Court because he was improperly dressed. After a scuffle with the guard and after the police were called, he was searched and a loaded gun was allegedly discovered on him.

As word spread of Greenidge’s death, a photo of the youth began circulating on social media showing him posing with Dario Yearwood and Daniel Griffith, the two Barbadians killed in a gruesome murder in Jamaica last month. (CA/PR)
