The group Voicemail... Oniel Edwards (center)

Lady Mystery mourns the passing of Oniel Edwards who succumbed to his injuries  he sustained when he was shot five times over two weeks ago, and send my condolences to  his family, friends, the popular dancehall group Voicemail of which he was a member and his many fans across the globe. His passing is a great loss to the entertainment fraternity and he will be sadly missed.

Oniel Edwards was shot five times, once in the head, during an attack over two weeks ago. The main suspect in the shooting was found dead in the Chancery Hall community on Tuesday, May 11. Police said the unidentified man managed to escape a dragnet set up to nab him the previous day.

Edwards’ cellular phone was found in the dead man’s possession. The body was clad in green short pants, white T-shirt and blue slippers and was found on Lady Hamilton Close with several gunshot wounds.

A second suspect was picked up by the Manchester Police in that parish on the following night and is being transported to Kingston where he will be questioned by senior homicide investigators.

Edwards was attacked and shot several times as he attempted to enter his home at Belloc Avenue in the middle class community of Duhaney Park on May 10th. He had been listed as critical even though he was said to be breathing on his own.
