Two people killed at vigil for teacher allegedly murdered by cop

A candlelight vigil in Essex, St Mary turned into a crime scene Thursday night when two people who were thought to be relatives of a police constable who was accused of killing an assistant teacher were shot dead.

The victims have been identified as Shaquille Harris, also known as 'Nick' or 'Big Red', and Tiffany Douse, known as 'Nikki', both residents of St Catherine.

According to reports, the pair were attending the vigil of 20-year-old assistant teacher D'Johnnay Graham, when explosions were heard about 10:30 p.m. Both victims received gunshot wounds and were later pronounced dead at the hospital.

The police are inviting anyone with information to come forward and assist with the investigation.

They say further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Twenty-year-old D'Johnnay Graham was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend, a policeman, who then attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head, in Beecham Hill, Flint River, St Mary, on June 25.
