Police from the Kingston Eastern Police Division announced earlier today, that they want to interview dancehall deejay Spragga Benz (real name – Carlton Grant) regarding a shooting incident in the McIntyre Villa area (more popularly known as Dunkirk) of Kingston last night (April 22), which left two men dead and a third hospitalized. Spragga Benz is a son of the ‘Dunkirk’ soil, a community he grew up in and has mentioned numerous times in his songs over the years.
According to reports, at about 11:50 p.m. last night, the three men were watching television at a shop, when men armed with high-powered rifles reportedly alighted from a motor car and opened fire on them. Two died on the spot, and the third was admitted in serious condition.
The police have announced that Spragga Benz has until 2 p.m. tomorrow (April 24) to report to the the Elleston Road Police Station for questioning.
Interestingly though, Spragga Benz has been on tour in the U.S. with Stephen Marley and the Ghetto Youths Crew, and was billed to perform in Colorado last night. He took to Twitter earlier today to respond to the police announcement, stating in one update “i have been abroad on my business and these people find me interesting …they should’ve been at the concert .leave me out unoo madness.“
