Reggae singer Christopher Martin is condemning the tragic events that took place this morning at his grandmother’s wake.
The “Big Deal” singer took to his Instagram account to denounce the violent acts as well as extend condolences to the families affected by the “senseless act.”
Seven people were shot at the wake in Point Hill, St. Catherine, at around 2 a.m., as per reports.
It is reported that gunmen invaded the wake and opened fire before escaping on foot.
The identity of the deceased has yet to be confirmed.
In an Instagram post with a picture of the former Rising Star winner seemingly praying, he dropped the following caption: “My heart is heavy this morning as I reflect on the tragic events that occurred last night at my beloved grandmother’s wake. She was a woman of deep faith and endless sacrifice, someone who taught me the true meaning of love and community. It’s devastating to see violence cast a shadow over what should have been a moment of peace and remembrance.
I condemn all forms of violence and extend my deepest sympathies to the families affected by this senseless act. I pray for those involved to come forward and for our community to support the authorities in bringing justice.
Jamaica, we must do better. Life is too precious to be consumed by violence. Let’s choose peace.”
