There is also a development in the case of another resident who was killed by the cops. Last Wednesday, a Ladyville resident was shot at about four o’clock in the afternoon. Police took twenty-four hours to confirm they had fired the deadly shot on Travis McKay. Police also claimed that McKay was shot following a burglary of a meat shop and that there was an exchange of fire. McKay’s family disputed those allegations because his brother came forward to say he witnessed his brother being held face down in the mud after he was shot. McKay’s mother has now received the results of the post mortem which indicate that McKay was shot in the back and she claims that is murder.

“Your son robbed this business place, this meat shop, just minutes before he was killed. Have you been able to gather anything with regards to that; whether that is so?”
Stephanie Perez
“Well not so far. They haven’t told me about that. They only told me that they find the gun, a mask, and money beside him when he was shot. They actually said, they find it where he died, beside him. l how could it be beside him when he was running for his life. If he had a gun, he probably fired back at the police, but I left it in the lord’s hands to deal with it.”
Perez says that she will not stop until she receives justice for her son.
