Detectives hunting the cold blooded killer who gunned down a student in Dockyard last month have reported a good response to their new appeal for information.

Police re-enacted the murder of Shaundae Jones at the popular tourist spot on Sunday afternoon in the hope that the publicity would jog memories and encourage more people to call in.

Det. Insp. Calvin Smith said yesterday that since the latest appeal went out earlier this week, a number of people who were in the vicinity the night Shaundae was shot have come forward.

"Quite a few people did call after seeing the appeal, and they were people that were present on the night," said the senior detective.

"I thank the people that have come forward, but there are still some people that we need to see. I want to appeal for those to come forward and talk to us.

"We are still looking for more information about the man in the red shirt."

Shaundae, 20, of Smith's Avenue, Warwick, had been to Club Malabar in Dockyard with his friends and was leaving at about 3 a.m. on Sunday, April 27 when the gunman struck.

Police believe he was standing next to a silver MG, which was parked in the no waiting zone directly opposite the club entrance, when he was shot once in the chest.

About 100 people who had been in the club were milling around outside, but everyone is believed to have thought the loud bang was a bike backfiring or a tyre.

It was only when a girl saw Shaundae, who had fallen backwards into the back of the MG, shaking uncontrollably and hollered "gun shot" that people became aware of what had happened.

The driver of the car immediately left Dockyard with Shaundae, and people inside the vehicle called 911, as they headed to Port Royal Fire Station in Southampton.

He was given First Aid there, and an ambulance arrived, but the 20-year-old, who was a full-time student at Bermuda College, died before reaching King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

Witnesses have described the gunman as a tall, thin, black man, wearing dark trousers and a red shirt, jacket or top. He wore a mask to disguise his face and a helmet over his head.

Immediately after the shooting he is believed to have left the scene on foot, heading in the direction of the old Casemates prison, either along the alley or back road that run behind the Clock Tower shopping mall.

Police have not released details about what kind of gun was used.

Three West End men were held in custody the week after the murder, but have since been released on Police bail.

A 23 and 24-year-old were arrested the same day of the murder, and a 29-year-old man is believed to have willingly gone to the Police station with his lawyer in connection with the incident.

But Police are still looking for more information about the individual in the red top and his movements before, during and after the fatal shooting.

The reasons for Shaundae's murder are still unclear. His mother Marsha did at first fear that his death was in connection with the stabbing murder of Tekle Zion Mallory at the Ice Queen take-away in Paget in July of 2001.

One of Shaundae's best friends, Jahni Bean, was accused with his cousin Quincy Stanley Brangman of murdering Tekle. However, they were both acquitted of causing his death at a trial in January this year.

Shaundae gave evidence at the trial, and his mother said he had received death threats since, although she was not certain what they were based on.

However, she also said that two weeks' before his death, her son had been in Club Malabar with his friends when someone deliberately threw a drink in his face - leading to a fight.

Whether that had anything to do with his murder, she said she did not know.

At the re-enactment on Sunday, Police spokesman Dwayne Caines said Police were appealing to the whole community to help with the inquiry, not just those people in Dockyard on the night of the murder.

He said: "A number of these people are young adults, and we believe most young adults have older adults that they confide in.

"If you know a young person that may confide in you, talk to them. A number of people have assisted in this inquiry, however, we are aware that there are many more that need to come forward."

Anyone with information should call the Major Crime Unit on 299-4315 or the confidential CrimeStoppers line on 1-800-623-8477.
