Search for Omari Gordon Continues

Police continue to seek the arrest of Omari Gordon arising out of a shooting at Police in the early hours of Saturday, November 29th 2008. Information has reached the Police that he is still in hiding in Bermuda and also that he has fled overseas. Investigators remain open minded and although lookouts have been posted internationally, Police continue with inquiries locally.

So far attempts by family, friends and his lawyer to get Mr. Gordon to come forward have failed. There is a strong likelihood that he is being assisted by others.

The suspect is alleged to have committed a serious & reckless act, which put several lives at risk. Police are continuing to actively search for Mr. Gordon and the co-operation of the public is vital to our success.

Anyone helping him should be aware that they may be prosecuted for perverting the course of justice or for being an accessory after the fact, both of which are crimes punishable under the law.

Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Omari Gordon is encouraged to contact the Serious Crime Unit on 299-4315 or the confidential Crime Stoppers Hotline on 1-800-623-8477.


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
