Publicist's house shot up

gunshootholes_in_house.jpgEntertainment publicist Ray Alexander received the shock of his life last night when unknown assailants shot up his house.

When Yardflex spoke with Alexander he was still shaken up as he fired, "it happened around 8:45 last night. I heard the sound of gunfire but I couldn't believe the attack was on me. My first thought was, I have not done anyone anything, so who would want to hurt me?" he explained.

According to Alexander he later learned that the car drove about 200 meters from his home, then two men got out, one stocky and another slim built, they walked up to the gateway pushed the gun through the gate and fired several shots towards the bedroom area.

The CEO of Khool International said he came to the full realization that he was the target when he looked through the window and saw crowd gathering at his gate. When he went to investigate it was then they told him what happened.

The matter has since been reported to the Bridgeport Police. The suspect is believed to be someone from the entertainment industry.

Melonie, good point. It's sad that your can be attacked and killed just based on a perception others have of you. Anarchy is rampant in JA, it is just not at the level where UN security forces need to step in. It is sad that a whole generation of children are growing up in fear and exponential violence daily. Prayer cannot help us, is only dedicated work and people standing together for what is right can save our island.

I dont why anyone would be surprise. Just looking at some of the post proves that if you do not agree with someone else view on who de best dj is its bullet!! bullet!! fe you. I was in Jamaica last year and spent the night at friends house and was waken up in the night by some young men arguing violently about dem favourite entertainer...I was concern enough to move to a back room in case de madness and the shooting start. Incognito me agree wid you prayer is not enough God help those who help themselves...we haffi stand up and reject these idiots and dem actions.

Keep your head up Ray. I've worked with Khool Entertainment (Ray's company) in the past and he and his staff were consumate professionals.

This is just an example of how crazy Jamaica has gotten. When will the violence stop?
