  Early Friday morning in Seaford, Westmoreland, a joint police-military operation ended in a fatal shooting—officially labeled “Pepper” or “Jordan”—with a firearm found at the scene. But locals say he was killed inside his home, with children watching, calling it cold-blooded murder. INDECOM, the independent probe unit, is now on the case. This isn’t an isolated incident: 217 people have been killed by security forces this year, 19 in just this month. The community waits anxiously for answers as the investigation unfolds.

  Philip Mascoll: Voice of the Jamaican Diaspora | Jamaica News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  Philip Mascoll, a towering figure in the Jamaican diaspora and veteran journalist for nearly three decades at the Toronto Star, has passed away. Celebrated for his groundbreaking coverage of Black, Caribbean, and immigrant communities — earning him a National Newspaper Award in 1996 — he was more than a reporter: he was a bridge-builder. As the first president of the Jamaica Diaspora Canada Foundation and a key advisor to Jamaica’s government, he tirelessly connected the island with its global community. His public service earned him Jamaica’s highest civilian honor, the Order of Distinction, in 2013. Remembered by the People’s National Party for his unwavering faith in Jamaica’s people and his tireless dedication, Mascoll leaves behind a legacy of compassion, leadership, and profound impact — honored by family, friends, and colleagues across generations.

  Barking Lodge Clash Over Aquaculture | Jamaica News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  A heated community meeting in St. Thomas over Dr. Michelle Charles’ aquaculture project turned chaotic, prompting MP Rose Shaw and her team to walk out amid accusations of political bias. Despite a green light from the National Fisheries Authority citing environmental and economic feasibility, locals remain skeptical. The project promises jobs and economic revival for Jamaica’s underdeveloped eastern side, with student safety prioritized — but tensions are high and the debate far from over.

  Kenscoff’s Deadly Silence | Jamaica News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  A horrific gang assault in Kenscoff, Haiti, left 164 dead, 70 kidnapped, and dozens missing—proof that a stronger security response could have saved lives. Despite warnings and a deadly attack just months prior, security forces were withdrawn without explanation, leaving the community defenseless. Gangs used drones and roadblocks to launch their brutal strike, targeting all ages—including children and elders. Officials ignored pleas for armored vehicles, and the report condemns police inaction and leadership indifference. Tensions remain high as drones still fly overhead and threats circulate online; survivors demand urgent aid to prevent future tragedies.
