Thousands of dancehall followers and artistes flocked the home of Richie Stephenson's last night to mourn the death of slain dj Copper Cat.

However the gathering had to end early as the cops came and turned off the music. This got several of the artistes/selectors who were present angry. Ricky Trooper had to be calmed down by his female companion while Fantan Mojah shouted "mek wi march tonight because dem fight the music in every way".

Mr. Vegas also made an interesting point, "when dem kill Copper Cat a one police come put up yellow tape but yet dem send four car loads of police fi end di thing".

With the Noise Abatement Act stating that no outdoor events should go over the 2:00am cut off time many were surprised when the cops came a few minutes after 1:00am to turn off the music.

Copper Cat was gunned at his gate by unknown assailants who shot him in the head for his Black Berry.

The funeral service for Copper Cat will be held on Saturday February 5, 2011 at his home town in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland.
