Mr. Crockwell, 25, was shot in the back of neck on the evening of Friday, August 24, as he walked along on the Railway Trail near Loyal Hill in Devonshire.

At a press conference today Chief Inspector Tracey Adams said a team of 20 detectives were focusing on six persons of interest.

He said: “We have taken over a 100 statements and interviewed just as many persons.

“We have interviewed and forensically processed six persons of interest - they are people we believe have relevant information to the inquiry.”

Supt. Randy Liverpool said Police were very pleased with the response from the public.

But he said even details the public might think insignificant might be a vital clue to help the case.

And he urged the public to come forward with information about people or vehicles entering or leaving the area on the night of the murder.

Police also want to hear more from friends and associates of the murdered man.

“We believe that he was meeting someone at that location when he was found. We believe some friends or associates might be able to assist us with that information. We appeal for them to come forward.”

Anyone with any information into the death of Mr. Crockwell is urged to telephone Police on 299 4239 or the anonymous Crimestoppers hotline on 1 800 623 8477.
