It was only less than a month ago I attended Pace University CSA Concert and watched Dancehall Reggae Group Voicemail performance.. I went back stage and spoke with the group and got their contact information because Iw anted to get them to perform for a future show and now this tragic event took place.. -- O'Neil Edwards (seen on my left and the picture right of me) was reportedly shot several times in a robbery outside the entertainer's Duhaney Park home early this morning around 1am. Edwards was allegedly approached by unknown assailants and robbed at gunpoint as he was leaving his residence, then shot five times in the head, chest and side by the escaping gunmen. he is battling for his life as we speak
The singer was rushed to the Kingston Public Hospital where he is currently undergoing surgery to remove bullets from his chest and abdomen, after which he will be transferred to the University Hospital for a CT scan and possible brain surgery.
Edwards' shooting is the latest incident in an escalating wave of violent crime, reminiscent of similar circumstances in January 2005 in which Voicemail mentor and labelmate Gerald 'Bogle' Levy was killed in an early morning shooting. Edwards recently became father of a one-month-old baby girl.
Come on Jamaica, we cannot live like this
