Relatives remember Effortville man killed in bloody rampage
Jul 22nd, 2021 | Category: Special Reports | 7:47#JamaicaGleaner #Shooting #Effortville #Clarendon JULY 22, 2021: For eighty-year-old Perris Samuels, June 21 each year was usually a day of happiness as she celebrated the anniversary of the birth of the fourth of her five children. This year, however, the celebratory spirit was dampened as the birthday festivities turned into a memorial for her son’s 53rd birthday. Her son, Evriel ‘Cootie’ Mitchell, a baker of Leon Avenue in Effortville, was among five people killed during a murderous rampage in December last year. A missing bike was said to be at the centre of the killings.
