National Security Minister, Dr. Horace Chang, says he doesn’t think a Zone of Special Operations, ZOSO, is needed in the Kidd Lane community in South St. Andrew at this time.
Dr. Chang made the statement at Wednesday’s post-Cabinet media briefing at Jamaica House.
Residents of Kidd Lane called for a ZOSO to be established in their community after gunmen shot and killed 3 members of a family last Friday.
The deceased are 30-year-old Lashane Ellis, her one-year-old son, Kaheel Daley, and 39-year-old Kimeisha Gibson.
Their home was also set ablaze.
And in August, 19-year-old Ricardo Morgan was shot dead in the community.
Opposition Leader Mark Golding has echoed the residents’ call for a ZOSO to be considered in Kidd Lane.
Five men are in police custody in relation to the triple murder.
Six additional persons of interest are still being sought.
Dr. Chang says he is satisfied with the progress the police have made in their investigations so far.
Dr. Horace Chang, Minister of National Security and Peace.
