Ex-Soldier Faces Murder Charges in Death of Rochelle Mason ...

On October 10, 2023, a former soldier fatally shot his girlfriend, 29-year-old Rochelle Mason, at a nightclub off South Odeon Avenue in Kingston, Jamaica. The tragedy has left the community reeling and raised concerns about domestic violence and mental health issues.


Rochelle Mason, a resident of Denver Crescent, was reportedly involved in a heated argument with her boyfriend, an ex-member of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF), inside the club. Eyewitnesses stated that the argument escalated quickly, and before anyone could intervene, the ex-soldier pulled out a firearm and shot Mason multiple times. Patrons of the club were left in shock and panic as the violent scene unfolded before them. Emergency services were called, but Mason was pronounced dead at the scene.


Following the shooting, the ex-soldier fled the location, prompting an intense police search. He was later apprehended by authorities and is currently in custody, facing charges of murder. Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances leading to the shooting, with initial reports suggesting the couple had a troubled relationship marked by frequent arguments.


The killing has reignited discussions surrounding domestic violence in Jamaica, with many calling for increased support and intervention programs for victims. The case has also brought attention to the mental health struggles faced by former military personnel, with some speculating that the shooter may have been suffering from untreated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other psychological issues related to his time in the army.


The Kingston community, particularly those who knew Rochelle Mason, are grieving her untimely death, as calls grow for stronger protections for women and more resources for veterans struggling with mental health challenges.(Photo from Mckoys News)
