The mother of one of two men shot and killed in St Mary, two Saturdays ago, is vehemently denying that he was a gang leader or was in any gang.
Dead are: Rayon Walker, 40, otherwise called ‘Evil’ and Adrian Black, 19, otherwise ‘Brammer’, both of Brown’s Town. They were killed in Frazer Wood District near Highgate, St Mary, on Saturday afternoon, September 22.
Walker was on bail in a murder case and as a condition of his bail was told to leave the parish. He was residing in Frazer Wood and was being visited by Black, who was said to be very close to him and by his girlfriend when they were attacked and shot. The girlfriend survived the attack.
Sandra Virgo said, her son was known as ‘Evil’ since he was a boy at Primary School in Brown’s Town, and was never “Lord Evil” that police gave as his alias.
Ms Virgo said, she is sure her son was killed by the police. She said that when he was first arrested for murder, he told everyone around that the police would kill him. “Him seh to everybody around there to hear, ‘Momma, dem going kill me,’” she said.
In responding to the North Coast Times’ lead story last week, she said: “He was no gang leader, mi want the police to tell me which gang, where the gang deh, who inna it and what it name.” Ms Virgo said her son was a known drug pusher and had done that for years, despite her counsel that he should get out of it.
“Everybody know him push drugs but him not in any gang,” she said. Ms Virgo said several policemen were his friends and he had been able to elude the police on the drug pushing activities.
She said she had tried to help Rayon over the years, at one time even sending him to England from where he was deported to Jamaica about 12 years ago, after being involved in drugs there.
She said after his arrest on a murder charge and he was at St Ann’s Bay police station one policeman approached him and said: “Yuh say you always have wi inna yuh pocket. A who inna who fah pocket now?” Ms Virgo said she recalled all these things as she contemplated the death of her eldest child who was close to her and who lived next door.
She said the murder charge against him could not prevail. “Dem couldn’t win the case” she said, arguing that Evil was not involved in killing anyone and had no motive in the case brought against him.
Attorney Nathan Geddes Morrison, who was the attorney on record, said the case was down to come before the St Ann Circuit session starting in St Ann’s Bay later this month.
Ms Virgo said, Evil was not in want and that he operated an unlicenced taxi at night and weekends, in addition to his other activities. She said Black who was killed with him was only around him for about a year and was no “disciple” of his.
She said her son was popular for his good deeds. “Him well beknowing. If you ever go inna Brown’s Town and ask how many pickney him help out fi go back a school!” She said.
Ms Virgo said her son was determined to sell drugs but was a good man. “Him was a good man,” she said. She said he died leaving three children.
Woman out of hospital
The woman who was shot and wounded at the same time the two men were killed in Frazer Wood, St Mary on September 22, is out of hospital. She, however, has major health issues from the wounds, one of which was to her leg
Her name is not being used for security reasons. However she was the girlfriend of Rayon Walker, 40, aka ‘Evil’ who was shot and killed along with Adrian Black, 19, otherwise called ‘Brammer’ and ‘Boyus’.
