Murder suspect taken into custody

Mayflower Street is back in the news tonight…and not because of a politician’s visit or community cleanup campaign. It’s the vicinity where police this morning apprehended one of their most wanted, Kevin Dawson. Dawson, better known as “Possum” is the prime suspect in the shooting death of nineteen-year-old Eurdene Sterling. Sterling and another man were shot on March fourteenth as they stood in front of a shop on Sarstoon Street. Sterling died of his wounds a week later. In related news, residents of the area claim police acted rudely and recklessly in their search for Possum and that one of the officers returned to Banak Street in the afternoon and fired a shot, which lodged in the wall of a residence.
