The police have confirmed that Cedric Murray, otherwise called ‘Doggie’, of the Montego-based Stone Crusher gang was fatally shot in a special police operation near the border of Clarendon and Manchester early this morning.
Murray, who was a top lieutenant in the Stone Crusher gang, was on the police’s ‘Most Wanted List’ for the past five years.
The driver of the motor car in which Murray was travelling, escaped the police dragnet but the police are now combing the area for him.
A firearm was also seized in the incident.
The Bureau of Special Investigations (BSI) has commenced a probe into the matter.
