A 29 year-old labourer/shopkeeper, David ‘Mosiah’ Clarke, the brother of dancehall entertainer, Mluleki Clarke, popularly known as Jahshii, was shot and killed by unknown gunmen in Grants Pen, Kingston, during an early morning attack on Saturday.

“It is so sad that Mosiah is dead. He is Jahshii’s bredda, the one who ran their father’s shop, he is a humble yute, nice yute, everybody love him,” a Grants Pen resident told DancehallMag.

Another man was shot and injured during the incident, which the police confirmed happened at about 2 a.m. on Saturday.

“Mosiah worked in Nutsy’s shop. Nutsy is also Jahshii’s father, he owned the shop, and the son run it for him more time. He is the one who is always there, even at 2 in the morning, yu can go there and it open and it. ‘Nutsy’ buy the goods, Mosiah sell inna the shop, him no involve inna nothing. It tragic star.”

The shop that Mosiah worked is owned by Mervin ‘Nutsy’ Clarke.

The Constabulary Communication Unit confirmed the shooting but was unable to provide any additional details.

Anecdotal reports are that Clarke was at his home when a group of criminals went to the location. Several gunshots rang out. The residents summoned the cops and they found Clarke’s body. He had been shot several times.

Grants Pen residents confirmed that the man is the brother of the entertainer, Jahshii.

Jahshii’s family has been under a dark cloud since June of this year when the deejay’s name surfaced in an investigation regarding the death of businessman Omar ‘Romie’ Wright.

The Born Fighter deejay later surrendered himself to the police in the company of his attorneys, King’s Counsel Peter Champagnie and Richard Lynch.

He was questioned and released by the cops about the June 7 murder.

In July of this year, a motor vehicle that Jahshii owned was attacked by armed men on Constant Spring Road in the vicinity of Marketplace in upper St. Andrew. Six men, all members of the entertainer’s entourage, were shot and injured. The entertainer, reportedly left his birthday event, in another car and, hence, escaped injury.

The deejay, who is known for the songs Cream of the Crop, Keep Up and Born Fighter, has kept a low profile in recent months.
