By Newsroom

Jehlano Romney, the State’s main witness in the April killing of Police Constable Clarence Gilkes, was shot and killed in Morvant on Sunday night.

The 28 year old, of Upper Rich Plain Road Diego Martin, was ambushed while at Coconut Drive around 10pm .

Romney, who had initially been held as a suspect in Officer Gilkes’ shooting was later cleared by evidence, as ballistic testing found the bullet that killed Gilkes was discharged from a police firearm.

Two officers were later charged in connection with the killing.
