Man wanted by police becomes crime victim



A man wanted in connection with a double murder and triple shooting that occurred nearly six months ago was shot along with another man on Friday night, police reported.


Police said Cornelius Roberts, 23, is wanted in connection with the murders of Amati Knowles, 40, and Odrick Telusma, 17.


Knowles and Telusma were shot and killed off Kemp Road, north of Bar 20 Corner, on Whit Monday.


Police said two men drove to the area inside a reportedly stolen white Dodge Ram truck and shot them.


After the incident, the culprits drove to Mt. Pleasant Avenue, off Kemp Road, and shot three other men, who were standing outside a business, police said.


According to police, officers responding to reports of a shooting on Cowman Lane, off Malcolm Road west, around 11 p.m. Friday, found Roberts and an unidentified man suffering from gunshot wounds.


According to reports received by police, two armed men exited a white vehicle and shot the victims as they walked along the street.


Both men were taken to hospital and were reportedly in serious condition.


In a separate incident, which occurred hours later, an off-duty police corporal was shot along with two other men as they exited a nightclub on Fox Hill Road around 1 a.m., police reported.


The men were shot multiples times and were taken to hospital where they were in serious condition, police said.


The man reportedly fled the scene on foot.
