“If you look at the past two years or so, we have been getting some significant convictions through guilty pleas,” said Bailey, heaping praise on detectives assigned to Area Three and the Major Investigation Division.Īmong the 11 murder victims were Kareen Walters, a former security guard, and her common-law spouse Jermaine Crooks, who were shot to death in the community of Race Track on January 31 this year.Īnother victim, Lerone ‘Lucky’ Harvey, was shot and killed in the first quarter of 2021, almost four years after he was wounded in an attack that Gilman knew about. He said Gilman’s guilty plea is a manifestation of the quality of investigations being conducted by detectives despite the challenges. “We will continue to pursue whatever remnants of that gang that are still around,” said Bailey, who has responsibility for crime and security.
