Murray is also wanted for wounding with intent.

Speaking at a press conference hosted at the May Pen Police Station, Russell told reporters that Murray's capture could solve some eight murders across the parish.

The other wanted men are:

* Twenty-six-year-old Panif Broomfield, also known as 'Chang', of Buzz Rock in Effortville, who is wanted for shooting with intent and robbery with aggravation. Broomfield is also wanted for shooting and injuring a police sergeant.

"These men are considered [to be] armed and dangerous and we're asking anyone who knows the whereabouts of these individuals to contact us. We're also warning persons that it is an offence to harbour a fugitive," said Russell.
