TECHNICIAN FACING MURDER CHARGES
Thirty-year-old Antoneo Palmer, a technician of Marlboro Avenue, Kingston 20, has been charged with Murder, Conspiracy to Murder and Misprision of a Felony in connection with the murder of a woman at Hibiscus Avenue, Kingston 11, on Saturday, September 26.
The deceased has been identified as 25-year-old Omiela Walker, otherwise called ‘Naana’, of Hibiscus Avenue, Kingston 11.
Reports from the Hunts Bay Police are that Palmer allegedly rented a 2015 Toyota Axio motorcar. At about 7:25 p.m., he and his alleged accomplice(s) reportedly drove to the area and parked near Walker’s gate. A man then allegedly exited the vehicle, approached Walker and opened gunfire, hitting her in the upper body and head. The assailant subsequently re-entered the vehicle and fled the scene. The police were summoned, and Walker was assisted to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Following intensive investigations, the vehicle allegedly used in the incident was identified through Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage and later seized for processing as part of the investigation.
Palmer subsequently surrendered to the police and was charged. His court date is being finalised.
