Gaza Deejay Shawn Storm Freed From Jail

Portmore Empire recording artiste, Shawn Campbell, more popularly known as Shawn Storm is once again a free man following a four day stint behind bars.

The “My Life” singjay turned himself into the cops on Monday after being named a person of interest by Portmore police. Though some speculated that Shawn Storm’s arrest was directly linked to the murder case against his long-time mentor, Vybz Kartel, no reasoning was offered by the police regarding the nature of his arrest. He was transferred from St. Catherine to the Constant Spring Police station earlier in the week.

Shawn Storm was freed after his lawyer, Michael Deans, filed a habeas corpus application in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Friday morning. According to Deans, he was on his way to court to address the matter when a senior superintendent informed him that the St. Andrew North did not have any interest in Shawn Storm. As a result, he was reportedly processed and released Friday afternoon. The Gaza singjay has yet to comment on the matter.


Shawn Storm’s arrest came a week after Vybz Kartel was charged with murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm in connection with the shooting death of Barrington “Bossie” Burton, a businessman/promoter of a St. Catherine address. Kartel is expected to return to court October 26th to answer those charges prior to a November 10th appearance to answer ganja possession charges.
