A missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was shot and killed in Kingston, Jamaica, Monday.

Elder Jermaine Luther Walker was shot by a stray bullet from a police shootout. The LDS Church confirmed Elder Jermaine Luther Walker was shot when he and a group of elders got caught in the crossfire of a police shootout. Elder Walker was a native of Kingston, Jamaica.

"It appears the van they were in was caught in the crossfire as local police were pursuing another vehicle," a statement from the Church read. "Elder Walker was immediately driven to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead."

Go to an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica. Ocho Rios and Montego Bay are nice. There’s also a few nice places in Port Antonio, in Portland Parish.

The last time something like this happened (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1550903/posts) it took 20 posts before somebody saying crap like that. I’m not going to hit abuse though. Let the world see your words, they only reflect poorly on you.

I hit the abuse button as well, but evidently hate speech towards this murdered young man is acceptable on this forum.

Good strategy, make threats in response to a comment that may or may not be quite what it seems.

This is a tragedy,very sad, this poor man was a victim of fate.

Maybe the poster is being misunderstood, but your threat does not make things any better.
