Residents of Vauxhall, Christ Church, are reeling after 43-year-old Rommell Cadell became the island’s eighth homicide victim this year in a fatal shooting early Wednesday morning.Two other men were injured in the attack, which has sparked urgent calls for action against escalating gun crime in the typically peaceful district.Cadell’s cousin, Julian Trotman, was shocked by the unexpected violence. He recounted hearing gunshots around 1:15 a.m., but didn’t see or hear any vehicles or commotion until one of the victims called for help.He said: “This morning about 1:15/1:30 I heard about six shots, and I said the way how these sound they sound very close to me so when I made my checks, I didn’t see or hear any vehicle or any movement about the place or anything so, and after I came out, then I heard one of the guys saying, ‘somebody help me, I get hit. I get shoot in my back.’ The police were called and everything but I didn’t see any vehicles around, I didn’t hear any kind of movement, it was very quiet until I hear the shots ring out.”Trotman, who last saw Cadell alive last weekend, said his relative was mouthy, but he was not an aggressive person.A resident, who wished to remain anonymous, described Cadell as a fun-loving person and expressed deep concern about the rise of gun violence.“I am very concerned about people with guns actually,” the resident said. “We haven’t had anything like this in a very long time about here, it is a shock to us and it is very devastating to the whole family. He was a very fun-loving person, he used to walk and talk to himself a little bit, but he was a fun loving person. Last time I saw him was Saturday night. This shocked me a whole lot.”
