A man identified by police as a high-ranking member of the Spanish Town based Klansman gang was shot and killed during a confrontation with members of the security forces in St Catherine on Wednesday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Shevon Ulett, otherwise known as ‘Pitter’.
According to reports, the incident occurred at approximately 6:00 a.m. in Ellerslie Pen, St Catherine, where Ulett was involved in a confrontation with the police.
He was subsequently shot and killed. A firearm was reportedly seized during the incident.
Linked To Several Klansman Gang Areas
Ulett had previously been named as a person of interest by the St Catherine North Police Division in connection with criminal activities involving factions of the notorious Klansman gang.
Investigators reportedly linked him to gang related activities in the Okro Lane, March Pen and Top Banks areas of Spanish Town.
Named Among 10 Persons Of Interest
In February 2025, Ulett was among 10 men publicly listed as persons of interest by the St Catherine North Police following a series of gang flare ups and the killings of several alleged local gang figures within the division.
His killing on Wednesday morning marks another development in the police’s ongoing efforts to tackle gang related violence in the parish.
