Martin “Jahson” James, a man known to law enforcement, was shot and killed at his residence in Villa on the night of October 5, 2024. His death marks the 39th homicide in the country this year. James, 53, had previously been deported from the USA over two decades ago due to violent offenses.
The incident on Saturday is reportedly the second shooting involving James. Known for his candid remarks, he had made headlines previously, expressing threats against him. In November 2017, outside the Calliaqua Magistrate’s Court, he stated that a “war” was ongoing in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, naming two brothers from Paul’s Avenue as his adversaries.
At that time, James had recently been charged alongside Ricardo “Shrek” McFee for the 2016 murder of 10-month-old Mozari, an incident that also involved multiple attempted murder charges. Following the shooting incident this past weekend, local authorities have yet to release any official comment or statement regarding his death.
The recent shooting death of Martin “Jahson” James highlights ongoing violence and crime issues in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Known for prior involvement in criminal activities and public proclamations of conflict, his murder adds to the escalating homicide statistics of the year. Law enforcement continues to remain silent on this case, indicating a need for further investigation and response.
