Family offers reward for info on dad’s killers
The family of Gladstone Allen, otherwise known as Cuban, is offering a reward of £1,000 pounds (approximately J$166,000) to anyone who can provide information that can lead to the prosecution of the person or persons who murdered him.
Allen, 55, a driver at the Clarendon Parish Library, was gunned down last Friday about 9:45 p.m. along with another man, Gregory Mitchell, on Duke Street in May Pen.
Chentel Allen, his daughter, who lives in the United Kingdom, says most of Gladstone’s relatives reside overseas and they will be coming to the island to bury him.
But, in the meantime, they want persons to know that they will be offering cash to anyone who assists the police in catching his killer or killers.
“Nobody is gonna snitch otherwise, because it is something that happens every day in that country (Jamaica),” she said.
A distraught Chentel, in sharing memories of her father, said that he was an upstanding citizen.
“The whole of May Pen is mourning ... he was a good person. My dad wouldn’t hurt a fly,” she told CENTRAL STAR.
Audrey Minott, senior librarian at the Clarendon Parish Library, said Allen was a very willing employee.
“We could depend on him. We are a female-dominated organisation here, and he always looked out for our welfare, especially when we are on the road,” she said.
