And the police are trying to broker peace between the two George Street factions. The spate of gang activity began with the killing of former gang member, Elwin "Bobo" Lewis. He was an employee of the LIU, and was on his way to cash his cheque when he was killed. Today the ComPol said it's the division in the faction that led to his death, but they have evidence that will hopefully soon lead to an arrest.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I have sat in many interventions with Bobo and he has always been one of the positive ones, trying to see how best he can help to quell the issues in the George Street area. Certainly yes his presence working with the LIU is going to be missed. We know that he did have issues with a particular group, again, it's a whole George Street faction, as you would know there is a division in the George Street faction and there was a group that was against him but Bobo has always maintained his cool and despite knowing that that division and that animosity was there he still felt comfortable moving in the area where the other factions were, hoping that the fact that he has been an elder, that he would be respected I guess what he had hoped for did not work out well for him."
"We are working on that, we have a number of video footage that we are viewing, we have very good clues, it's just a matter of us putting the pieces together, I will try to arrange for the investigators to see the DPP with the video footage and see if she would be able to provide guidance to the police in terms of how we would be able to proceed with the video footage that we currently have."
