Gerald ‘Star Black’ Jones

According to Jones, his life is under threat following the incident on Sunday because the young men in the neighborhood believe that he had a hand in the police raid.  This morning, he made an urgent appeal to residents in the area that he was taken by surprise when the officers caught his cab to carry out their assignment.
