BOGLE
POLICE YESTERDAY charged the main suspect in the killing of popular dancer Gerald 'Bogle' Levy who was shot dead in January.
Ricardo Palmer, 22, a.k.a. 'Ricky', was charged with two counts of murder, three counts of shooting with intent and illegal possession of firearm. He is to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Gun Court at Half-Way Tree, St. Andrew, next week.
Palmer, who police say is from Campden Crescent in Marverly, St. Andrew, was taken into custody on September 15, when he went to court on another charge. Less than two weeks after the killing, police had named Palmer as the main suspect. In fact he was taken into custody sometime ago when he went to report to a police station - as a bail requirement - but was surprisingly released without the knowledge of investigators.
Bogle was shot dead at a service station on Constant Spring Road where he went after an altercation at the popular 'Weddy Weddy Wednesday' dance at the nearby Burlington Avenue.
Police say Bogle and four other persons were buying gas when two men rode up on a bike and opened fire on them. The dancer was shot 14 times all over his body and died on the spot while the other four were taken to the hospital where another man died and the other three were admitted.
