Police today confirmed that 16 year old Roaring Creek resident Frank Usher was killed with a 38 caliber weapon. This raises the possibility that the weapon used was the one that was reported stolen by a police corporal.
Police press officer Fitzroy Yearwood told us that the Corporal will be brought up on disciplinary charges because he should not have had that weapon in his possession as it was assigned to the head of the IT department where he works. Remarkably, 24 hours after we first asked him about the owner of the gun, Yearwood told us he could not tell us whom the weapon was originally licensed to - while reports to us say it was assigned to a very senior police officer.
But that is neither here nor there because right now police don't have the murder weapon and they can't make any match between the slugs found in Usher's body and the weapon until that is recovered.
