A suspect in the killing of Const. Valentino Chambers was shot dead yesterday on Luke Lane in downtown Kingston.

Dead is Fredrick Johnson, also called 'Murphy', 19, of a Hannah Town address. Two other men were shot and injured during the shooting spree. They have been identified as Dale Bailey, 19, also of a Hannah Town address, and Lincoln Forbes of a Barbican address.

According to police reports, Johnson and Bailey were riding a bicycle on Luke Lane about 11:15 a.m., when they were attacked by two men on foot who fired shots at them.

Johnson was hit all over his body and pronounced dead at the scene, while Bailey and Forbes, who were working at a nearby cabinet shop, were taken to hospital.

Johnson's death came one day after the slaying of Constable Chambers.

Lost control of the vehicle

On Thursday morning, Constable Chambers was driving on his way to work along Brewery Road when, on reaching Slipe Pen Road, he was fired on by a group of men carrying high-powered rifles. He returned the fire but lost control of the vehicle which crashed into a wall. Constable Chambers received gunshot wounds all over his body. His firearm was also stolen from him.
