The St Andrew South Police are seeking a popular deejay for questioning in connection with a murder in the Marl Road area of Kingston 11 yesterday.



Crime chief for the division, Deputy Superintendent Michael Phipps, said that the artiste is a person of interest in the murder of 20-year-old Ricardo Johnson.



According to the Constabulary Communication Network, around 11.15 a.m., Johnson, otherwise called Ricky Trooper, was sweeping his yard in the company of a friend when a grey motor car with three men aboard drove up.



An argument reportedly developed between one of the men and Johnson’s friend and the car drove off. The vehicle later returned and the occupants opened fire, hitting Johnson. He died at the Kingston Public Hospital.
