Music producer Linval 'Shab Don' Thompson Jr has been arrested in connection with last month's triple murder in Rose Heights, St James.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force says Thompson was arrested today by members of the Joint Anti-Gang Task Force during a targeted operation in the St. Catherine South division following preliminary investigations into several incidents.
The police had named Thompson as a person of interest in the recent killings.
He's is expected to be questioned in the coming days in the presence of his attorney, the police said.
Twenty-seven year-old Chadwell Frazer, otherwise called 'Bomb Brain' or 'Chad'; 24-year-old Chamario 'Chippy' Calvin Toniann 'Too Fly' Reid, 26, were shot dead at a birthday party on Marl Road in Rose Heights on May 25.
Two other persons were injured in the incident.
In April, the dancehall producer was freed in the Gun Court of firearm and ammunition charges.
