Bounty Killer - File
The body of a man was found yesterday with nine gunshot wounds at an unfinished house owned by popular deejay, Bounty Killer, in Norbrook, Kingston 8.
THE WEEKEND STAR was told that at 6 p.m. on Monday, residents reported hearing explosions. At 11 a.m. on Tuesday, the body, with several gunshot wounds to the head, jaw, back and arms, was discovered by someone who went to the premises to collect items.
Though no one has come forward to identify the body, the police believe he is Devon Williams, a businessman of a Patrick Gardens address. He is believed to be about 32 years old. Williams was dressed in a grey T-shirt, grey jeans and brown shoes
When contacted yesterday, operations officer for the St Andrew North division, Deputy Superintendent Carol McKenzie, told THE WEEKEND STAR that the popular deejay, whose real name is Rodney Price, was not a suspect in the investigations.
Not a suspect
"... We are in the process of investigations and he may be questioned, but he really is not a suspect," DSP McKenzie said, before explaining, "All we will probably need from Bounty is just a statement saying that it is his home but he doesn't know the dead man."
When contacted, Julian Jones-Griffiths, Bounty Killer's manager, said he knew nothing about the incident, and that the deejay was off the island and would not be returning until next week.
