A MAN, who was reportedly released from prison last week, became the country’s latest murder victim after he was shot multiple times while playing dominoes yesterday afternoon.

It happened around 1pm on Olde Corner off East Street.

Officer in charge of the Central Detective Unit Superintendent Paul Rolle said two men walked up to the victim and shot him multiple times before fleeing the area.

“Sometime around 1pm, police received reports that gunshots were discharged in the Odle Corner area. Officers responded and met a male suffering from multiple gunshots about his body,” he said.

“Preliminary investigations reveal that the victim was sitting under a tree playing dominoes with three other males when two males emerged from the northern side of the street.

“One of the men, who was armed with a handgun, approached the victim and began discharging shots in his direction.

“The victim got up and attempted to run, but collapsed a short distance away.

“We believe that the assailants then ran west, got into a green Honda and left the area.”

Police have not officially identified the victim, but The Tribune understands he is 24-year-old Kenthley Milfort.

Milfort was released from prison last week.

He was charged, with his brother, Devron Patterson, also known as Li’l Ron, of the May 2011 shooting death of Andrich Charles.

Charles was shot to death as he sat in his car with a relative at Bull Dog Alley off Gibbs Corner.

Last June, a judge declared a mistrial in the murder case after a jury was unable to reach an acceptable verdict.

The brothers’ retrial began two weeks ago.

The victim’s grandfather, Narcis Milfort, said although his grandson had a troubled past, his death was a shock.

He said: “I was home, (in) Carmichael Road, when my granddaughter tell me Kenthely dead. I still do not believe it.

“I do not know why someone would kill him. Three years ago they say he kill a guy through the next corner so maybe that’s why, but he was still a good boy. He just come out of jail last week and they just let him go, now they kill him.”

Supt Rolle said police cannot confirm if this murder was an act of retaliation. He said police are following some leads.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 911/919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.

Investigations continue.
