'Fancy Foot' killed at his gate

The Denham Town police is today trying to ascertain a motive for the killing of a 30-year-old man from Sir William Grant Parkway in Jungle, St Andrew, after finding documents in his house that suggests he was an illegal cash pot vendor.

Reports reaching THE STAR are that the man, Tweedy Winston Anthony Alves, otherwise called 'Fancy Foot', was fatally shot about 6 a.m. yesterday morning at his gate in the community.

An investigating officer said that cash pot-related documents were found during a search of the deceased's house, which the police are following as possible leads to establish a motive for the murder.

"We don't know it if was a robbery or a fatal dispute over the paying out of cash that may have been won but we are not ruling out anything, the investigation is in early stages," the officer said.
