Families dispute police account of shooting; eyewitnesses say cops hit duo in bike deaths
Dec 6th, 2021 | Category: Special Reports | 28:53#JamaicaGleaner #MountainView #NewKingston #JCF DECEMBER 6, 2021: What was intended to be a night of celebration of life morphed into tragedy for a 24-year-old Brianna Kerr celebrating her birthday and the motorcycle driver, 40-year-old Derrick ‘Screechy’ Coley, with whom she whizzed through Kingston’s streets late last week. Those circumstances appear to be incontrovertible, but mystery and controversy shroud contrasting narratives by the police and eyewitnesses about their deaths, both of east Kingston. The police have been accused of knocking the duo off the motorcycle to their death.
