The bloodied bed bares the evidence of the deadly encounter.

Dead are 42-year-old vendor Shelly-Ann Shaw and her 4-year-old son Jamar Powell.
The community’s plunged into fear at the news of the passing and none of the residents wished to be identified or shown on camera.
Councilor for the Granville Division, Michael Troupe recently called for a Zone of Special Operations (ZOSOs) in the St.James area.
He says 11 more bodies are to be buried following the wave of bloodletting in the division.
He’s calling on all stakeholders to demand peace while urging the criminals to end the violence.
