Shortly after word reached the city that Shiny Tillett had been killed, three persons were shot, one of them fatally. He is 22 year old Kadeem Castillo who was gunned down on Madam Liz Crescent just after midnight on Saturday. Castillo was socializing near his home at 7761 Madam Liz, off Faber's road when a gray car pulled up, three men got out, and started firing in his direction. Castillo was with another person, but he was the only one who was caught by the spray of bullets; he ended up with four shots to the head and body.
So was this murder a direct retaliation? Senior Superintendent Alden Dawson told us today that although they cannot be one hundred percent certain at this time, they are looking at that possibility.

"Sometime after 12am on the 17th of April, police were called out to a location on Madam Liz Crescent where they saw the lifeless body of a young 22 year old man, Kadeem Castillo. A further check of the body revealed that he had two gunshot wounds to the chest and two to the head. Our investigation so far is that Castillo and another person was socializing on that street when a car drove up, 3 persons alighted the vehicle and fired several shots. Four of which caught the now deceased."

"Sir was this a retaliation for the murder of 'Shiny' Gerald Tillet which happened 4 hours earlier in Dangriga?"
