In a bold move to combat the rising tide of gang violence, the Jamaican government has
announced a staggering $25 million reward fund aimed at gathering critical information
that could lead to the arrest of suspects involved in the horrifying mass shooting on
Cherry Tree Lane, Clarendon. This initiative dubbed the ‘$25 Million Anti-Gang
Incentive’ was revealed by Prime Minister Andrew Holness during a media briefing
held at the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) on Wednesday.
The Scale of Gang Activity in Jamaica
Prime Minister Holness emphasized the severe gang problem in the country, noting that there
are currently 185 active criminal gangs operating across Jamaica. This alarming figure
underlines the government’s urgency in tackling this pervasive issue, starting with bringing
the perpetrators of the Clarendon mass shooting to justice.
Details of the $25 Million Reward Fund
To encourage the flow of credible information, the fund strategically allocates $25 million, directly targeting those involved in gang activities, particularly in the Clarendon massacre. Here’s a breakdown of how the reward money will be distributed:
– $6 Million for Arrests: The government is offering up to $6 million for actionable intelligence
that leads to the arrest and charging of any suspects involved in the Clarendon mass shooting.
A maximum of $1 million will be rewarded per individual arrested.
– $5 Million for Facilitators: An additional $5 million has been earmarked for information that results in the arrest and charging of individuals who facilitated the crime. These facilitators may include those who supplied weapons, arranged transportation or coordinated the murders via cell phone.
$4 Million for Firearm Recovery: The government will reward individuals who provide information leading to the recovery of firearms and ammunition used in the deadly incident with a $4 million sum.
– $5 Million for Evidence Against Gangs: Another $5 million is available for intelligence that secures evidence against the gangs responsible for the shootings.

$5 Million for Harboring Information: The authorities will award $5 million for information that leads to the arrest and charging of individuals harbouring gangsters or their associates involved in the mass shooting.
