This is a map of Jamaica showing Lionel Town where the gruesome killings occurred.
It was on an early, sunny Friday morning when a lady made the discovery of her brother’s head mounted on a brick for everyone to see in the small vicinity of Lionel Town. It was said that the man was shot and his head cut off as a means of retaliation for a past shooting involving a young man.
“It was the scariest day of my life” said Myah, a resident of Lionel Town. “I didn’t want to go to school that day” Myah continued with a sound of terror in her voice.
This terrible act all stemmed from an ongoing rivalry between two set of groups .It was reported that this feud started when Blackadread, the leader of the first gang, was shot in his foot by a man from the other group. From that day Blackadread always had a hatred for not just the man who shot him ,but for the man’s family at large .The man who shot Blackadread had a son by the name of Triston who lived in Lionel town where Blackadread reside. It was said that Blackadread had ordered Triston to never enter his turf or walk around where he lived.
Triston, however, never took the warnings.
One day as Triston and his friends were walking by where Blackadread and his friends were sitting they started to taunt and began to throw stones at Triston and his friends.Triston and his friends then immediately turned around and started to throw back stones at the group. It was at that moment when Blackadread took out his gun and started to fire multiple shots at Triston and his friends. It was then reported that the boys began to run.Triston, however, wasn’t lucky enough as he was gunned down and shot in his mouth and left to die.
Triston survived the shot, but this was just the beginning. Triston’s father wanted revenge. He wanted everyone who was responsible for his sons shooting to pay the price. It didn’t take long for the first fatal killing to occur. It took place on a school night.
On around 9:00 pm on a Tuesday night, residents heard multiple gun shots being fired. It didn’t take long afterwards for citizens to discover a man’s body suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He died on the spot. It was reported that the reason for the man’s death was because he was “running up his mouth” saying that Triston deserved to be shot and that he should have died instead.
“I was scared to death” said a 16 year old resident who had wished for her identity to be a secret. “I wanted to move instantly I called my mom crying to her telling her that I wasn’t going to stay here”, the resident continued.
It wasn’t long after that killing that two more men this time two brothers of Blackadread was fatally shot. Lionel Town became a “ghost town”. Terror filled the hearts of residents. Many wanted to vacate the area while others were very careful as to what they said in public.
But it wasn’t over. The gang leader, Blackadread, was still out there. He was the only one left to die. The night before Blackadread’s body was discovered, around midnight the residents of Lionel Town, heard a series of gunshots. Residents said it was like a gun salute. It was not until in the early morning that the sister of Blackadread discovered his head mounted on a block in the center of the street for everyone to see. Everyone near and far came to see the head.
There were cries of mourning by the bereaved family, but what was most evident was the silence of the onlookers. No one said a word. Everyone just came to look and turned around. When asked for interviews by news reporters, no one wish to say a word.
It is still unknown as to the location of the rest of Blackadread’s body and if anyone was charged for the murder. What was known however was that Blackadread was wanted for a series of murders that he had committed and as such Police were reluctant to look into case. The Police saw it as just being served and another murderer off the street.
