Police fatally shoot Latoya Bulgin in Granville as St James protests escalate

People in Granville, St James, are pressing harder for accountability after another person died in a shooting involving the police, this time during protest activity that has gripped the community.

Tensions rose on Sunday as demonstrators prepared to move from Granville Square to Sam Sharpe Square in the parish. The march was aimed at demanding answers over the fatal police shooting of a teenager on Mother's Day two weeks earlier.

In the midst of the unrest, residents identified the latest victim as Latoya "Buju" Bulgin. She was reportedly shot and killed while seated behind the wheel of a black van.

The killing has drawn strong condemnation of the police from community members, who say officers had no justification to fire on the woman.

Officials say investigations into the shooting are continuing.
