A missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was shot and killed in Kingston, Jamaica, Monday.
Elder Jermaine Luther Walker was shot by a stray bullet from a police shootout. The LDS Church confirmed Elder Jermaine Luther Walker was shot when he and a group of elders got caught in the crossfire of a police shootout. Elder Walker was a native of Kingston, Jamaica.
"It appears the van they were in was caught in the crossfire as local police were pursuing another vehicle," a statement from the Church read. "Elder Walker was immediately driven to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead."

He looks like a nice young man. What a sad thing for his family.
Prayers for his family - very sad.
Haiti is an out house, Jamaica is a toilet..
I cannot make up my miond if I would rather take my vacation in Jamaica , Haiti, or Mexico. /s/
Go to an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica. Ocho Rios and Montego Bay are nice. There’s also a few nice places in Port Antonio, in Portland Parish.
Sorry to hear of it....
My sympathy for his family........
Very wrong!!
Moron!!
You are damn lucky you are not standing in front of me at the moment...and saying what you said in your post.
The last time something like this happened (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1550903/posts) it took 20 posts before somebody saying crap like that. I’m not going to hit abuse though. Let the world see your words, they only reflect poorly on you.
You are disgusting.
You need not......
I hit the abuse button as well, but evidently hate speech towards this murdered young man is acceptable on this forum.
Young life cut short. R.I.P.
This is a tragedy,very sad, this poor man was a victim of fate.
Maybe the poster is being misunderstood, but your threat does not make things any better.
Add me to the hit abuse gang. Sad.
