Another escapee from the Oracabessa lock-up recaptured

A second prisoner who escaped from the Oracabessa lock-up in St Mary in December was recaptured on Monday.

He is 24-year-old Tray Walker of Claremont in St Ann.

The police say Walker was taken into custody for larceny of motor vehicle and malicious destruction of property committed in St Catherine.

While in custody, investigative leads revealed that Walker had given a fictitious name and that he was one of the seven St Mary escapees.

The hunt continues for the remaining escapees.

They are:

* Twenty-five-year-old Jahmala Vernon of Boscobel, St Mary, who was charged with robbery

* Twenty-two-year-old Phillip Williams of Belfield, St Mary, who was charged with shooting with intent.

* Twenty-six-year-old Lashawn Davidson of Jacks River, St Mary who was charged with shooting

* Twenty-one-year-old Nolando Akenson of Pimento Walk, St Ann and Boscobel, St Mary, who was charged with robbery

* Twenty-eight-year-old Gaveen Hurd of Stony Hill, St Andrew and Enfield, St Mary who was charged with Murder

The first recaptured inmate, 22-year-old Linton Bailey of Jacks River, St Mary, who was in lock-up for shooting was taken back into custody on January 4, and additional charges were laid against him.

The police are reminding citizens that harbouring a fugitive is an offence.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of these escapees is asked to contact the Oracabessa police at 876-726-0698, Crime Stop at 311, the JCF tip line at 811, or the nearest police station.
