Kingfish going after mastermind of Cherry Gardens hit
November 30, 2005
Operation Kingfish, the police task force formed just over a year ago to bring down gangs, big drug traffickers and organised crime bosses, yesterday announced that several of its investigators have joined the probe into the November 17 murder of 19 year-old Brian Isaacs in the affluent Cherry Gardens, St Andrew community.
"We are confident we can crack this case, and we are appealing to all members of the public who witnessed the incident to support us in this endeavour," Kingfish spokesman Sergeant Steve Brown told the Observer yesterday.
Isaacs was shot dead at 7:40 am in rush-hour traffic on Carmel Road by a motorcyclist who rode up beside the Mitsubishi Lancer motorcar he was driving. A police report said that there were three other persons in the car. Observer sources said the passengers were the slain man's family.
Police believe the murder was a contract killing but that the 19-year-old was not the target....
