Tensions flared in Spanish Town on Saturday morning as sympathisers of reputed Clansman gang enforcer, Sheldon Walters, otherwise known as Termite, reacted to news of his demise.
Reports indicate that Walters was killed in an alleged shootout with the police on Friday evening.
Anger and grief turned to chaos as a group of residents blocked sections of Burke Road, Salt Pond Road, and the Spanish Town Bypass.
The unrest escalated as the residents vandalised local establishments, including the KFC store on Burke Road.
In response to the escalating situation, a strong contingent of police officers flooded the streets of Spanish Town, aiming to restore order and quell the violence.
