Music producer and artiste manager Jahvel ‘Jahvi’ Morrison is being further held in custody after the police went to court today to obtain an order from a judge for his continued detention as they probe the shooting at Big Wall on Sunday.
The detention application was made by the police in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court.
Morrison is expected to face further questioning.
He is being represented by Peter Champagnie, KC.
No charge has been laid against him.
Under the law, the police have 48 hours to keep someone in custody without charge.
The police can go to court to seek an order from a judge to extend the detention.
Additionally, a person in custody, through a lawyer, can apply to the court for an order to compel the police to either charge them or release them from custody.
Morrison was taken into custody on Sunday in relation to a shooting incident at the carnival after-party event, Big Wall, which left three people, including popular vlogger Jhaedee ‘Jaii Frais’ Richards, injured.
