AN EARLY morning nightclub brawl led to the murder of a 22-year-old man.
The brawl came after an argument broke out in Magic City sometime after 3am on Saturday.
The fight continued outside in the club’s parking lot in the Westridge Shopping Centre where one man received gunshot injuries to his upper body and another man was shot in the back of the head and died at the scene.
According to police, the murder victim was a resident of Hospital Lane. While police have not yet released the man’s identity, sources have named the victim as Jerome Davis, alias “Sticky”.

This video is very disturbing ! why would anyone put this out there for the public to see ? Can you even imagine if you happened to look on line and saw your son/daughter lying in a pool of blood in the hallway of some club dead ? Not only is it insensitive, it is very, very disrespectful and downright cruel to even publish the poor kid's name, without him being positvely identified by his next of kin ! What kind of society that we live in, that this kind of behavior is tolerated by the media ? I can bet any amount of money, that whoever put this picture and video footage of this young man's body online for everyone to see, would not have done so, had that young man was related to them.What is so mind blowing to me is, why are our young black men so angry ! YOUNG MEN, PLEASE STOP THE VIOLENCE!!

If it is too graphic then don't watch it. I decided that a video depicting the fatal stabbing of another is far too graphic for my liking. My wife decided that she wants to watch it. Freedom of choice. The family member also has the choice of watching it or not. It doesn't play automatically. If you want to watch it then do so. If not then move on to the next story!

Does the 'end' then justify the 'means'? Freedom of choice does not necessarily mean that something is RIGHT. You are "free" to do drugs, but does it mean that you should? The video posted may not be as 'graphic' as its title suggests, however, it is most certainly insensitive, as others have stated. How is it that a professional journalist (or media company) finds it fit and deems it acceptable to release raw footage of the body of a young man who was killed just moments beforehand, all while police have yet to OFFICIALLY reveal the young man's identity? There are consequences to every course of action taken. Imagine being thousands of miles away, hearing about said demise, then watching it on Youtube as though you were there in person? Maybe if it were your friend, loved-one, or, God forbid, your WIFE, who lay dead in cold blood after being gunned down while a camera films on, your opinion(s) would change! It would then be you crying foul, ready to protest in Rawson Square!!!

The video is insensitive, but not too graphic. Worse things have been seen on TV, on many local news or Cops television shows.

Maybe just maybe a few of our young people will watch and understand the relationship between their behavior and the consequences - Its hardly graphic and channel 19 has worse images but its real - its close to home and hopefully we can all be jolted into understanding that people are being murdered around us - daily - This is not in the inner city but minutes from Sandy Port in the West - steps away from a bank that you might use and a few yards from a foodstore that you frequent and a restaurant where you take your children - do we not yet understand that we are in crisis? Do we not understand that this is happening in every neighbor HOOD and btw check the headline, its also happening in broad daylight - YOU, WE, ME - collectively we are in crisis!! Time to take action, time to demand more of our courts, our parliament, our police and most importantly of ourselves and our children....
