# What happened A 35-year-old man, identified by police as Dywane Edwards and known locally as "Night Time," was fatally shot in High Mountain, Bog Walk, St Catherine. The shooting occurred during what police described as a confrontation on Wednesday.

# Known facts

  • Location: High Mountain, Bog Walk, St Catherine.
  • Victim: Dywane Edwards, age 35, alias "Night Time."
  • Weapon seized: Uzi submachine gun, according to police.
  • Investigation: INDECOM is investigating the shooting.

# What police reported

# What is being investigated INDECOM will examine the circumstances that led to the shooting. That typically includes interviews with officers and witnesses, examination of physical evidence, and review of any available video or forensic material. The published report does not include INDECOM's findings or a timeline for completion.

# Community context in the coverage The report appears amid other recent stories in the same outlet about fatal police shootings in different parishes, indicating multiple police-confrontation incidents reported in recent weeks. One related piece referenced local residents claiming a separate man shot by police on Red Hills Road was sick. Those items are separate and were published as distinct reports.

The published account does not include:

  • A detailed account of how the confrontation began or unfolded.
  • Information about whether any officers were injured or involved in administrative actions pending the inquiry.

# Immediate implications INDECOM's investigation will determine whether police actions complied with law and policy. The seizure of an illegal firearm will be part of the evidentiary record that investigators use to reconstruct events, but the presence of a weapon alone does not resolve questions about the use of lethal force.

# What to watch next

  • INDECOM's formal findings and any public statement or press release.
  • Family or community responses that may arrive after more details are released.

# Bottom line A man identified as Dywane Edwards was shot and killed by police during an encounter in High Mountain, Bog Walk. Authorities recovered an Uzi submachine gun, and INDECOM is investigating the circumstances. Public details remain limited pending the outcome of that inquiry.
