A 23-year-old Kingston man who is in custody for a gun offence has been charged for the fatal shooting of a woman during a 2022 attack on a group on Malvern Avenue in the parish.
Roberto Green, of Victoria Avenue, Kingston, was charged on Friday with murder.
He is charged in connection with the killing of Sulaine Smith on the night of Saturday, August 20, 2022.
The police report that about 10:40, Smith was among a group of people along the roadway playing games when Green, along with other armed men, approached and opened gunfire.
When the shooting subsided, Smith was seen with gunshot wounds.
