Police say they have now charged an international fugitive who had reportedly shot at police and fled the island for two years but was later apprehended in September when he attempted to return to local shores.

The man identified as Akeem Thomas, 26, of Payton Place, Kingston 7, was charged with shooting with intent, illegal possession of a firearm, and illegal possession of ammunition following an identification parade on October 10.

Police report that on March 23, 2020, lawmen were on an operation when they approached the home of Thomas.

It is reported that Thomas and two other men opened fire at a group of offices and then fled the scene. Two high-powered weapons, a shotgun and an M16 rifle- were seized during the incident.

Police said a search was launched but Thomas went on the run and managed to leave the island.

He was however arrested in September 19 at the Norman Manley Airport after he attempted to return to local shores.
