Residents stage roadblock in protest of Tappa Whitmore son's death
Sunday, November 10, 2013 | 6:31 PM
ST JAMES, Jamaica — Residents of Retirement and Granville blocked sections of the Granville main road in St James Sunday, calling for justice following a motor vehicle crash that claimed the life Jouvhaine Whitmore, the son of former National football coach, Theodore ‘Tappa’ Whitmore.
The protesting residents accused the owner of a vehicle involved in the crash of “trying to cover up” the accident, arguing that the driver ran away from the scene and returned about two hours later to report the vehicle stolen to the police.

“We want justice because the owner is a big politician and him should not run off from the scene of the accident, and it is after the accident he returned and report to the police that the vehicle was stolen, so we want justice,” said Alecia Frater, Jouvhaine’s aunt, who was at the scene of the protest.
Young Whitmore was killed Saturday about 6:00pm when he was hit by a SUV as he rode his bicycle along the Granville main road.
The teenager was taken to the Cornwall Regional Hospital in Montego Bay, where he was pronounced dead.
