Thursday, January 20, 2005
Jamaica police are investigating the fatal shooting of well known dance hall personality Gerald Levy better known as "Bogle" and the fire bombing of a house belonging to fellow dancer Jonathon "John Hype" Prendegast.
Bogle, the reputed leader of the "Black Roses Crew", was gunned down early Thursday morning
Its reported that conflicts began at "Weddy Weddy Wednesday" session which was held at Stone Love HeadQuarters on Burlington Ave in Kingston, where Bogle brought two common fowls in the dance naming one Beenie Man and the other John Hype
"Bogle" and four other persons left the dance and drove onto Constant Spring Road where they stopped at a gas station. There they were approached by two men on a bike that pulled firearms and opened fire hitting all five persons in the car. "Bogle" received multiple gunshot wounds and died on the spot. The others taken to hospital including a woman 19-year-old woman, who was treated and released, the three were admitted with serious injuries are a 16-year-old, a 21-year-old and a 23-year-old.
Hours later fire was seen coming from the house belonging to "John Hype". He has been in a long running feud with "Bogle" and is being accused of being involved in his death.
A neighbor reported that the fire was started by a group of men who threw a device into the building. It took fire fighters some three hours to put out the blaze but not before two houses was destroyed.
The killing of the popular entertainer has sparked reactions from several members of the local music industry.
Among those who have commented is Director of Shocking Vibes Limited, Clyde Mckenzie, who says the country has lost one of its most gifted entertainers.
According to the police there are fears that the two related incidents could lead to a major flare-up of violence.
