The house of former Portmore Empire member Blak Ryno was shot up Thursday
Feburary 25, 2010 by unknown assailants.
Checks with the Waterford Police station confirmed that shots had indeed been
fired at a house in Waterford but the station officer could not confirm whose
house or whether anyone had been injured in the attack.
"Shots were fired at a house in Waterford this morning and police are now on
the scene but we don't have any other details because the officers have not
returned yet," the officer said.
Vybz Kartel fiercely condemned the gun attack on the Waterford home of former
Portmore Empire member Romane 'Blak Ryno' Anderson which was perpetrated
by unknown persons on Thursday, February 25.
"I condemn today's shooting in Waterford, and I condemn any attack
made on Blak Ryno," states Kartel firmly. "Regardless of what transpires between
the Portmore Empire and Blak Ryno, whether or not he is a part of the Empire,
I will not tolerate any acts of violence against him. ANYBODY who does ANYTHING
to Ryno has to answer to me."
"I have no knowledge of the incident and I strongly condemn the attack. I express
my sympathy and support to the Anderson family who may have been traumatised
by this act," Vybz Kartel said in a release.
Vybz Kartel urged authorities to launch a full-scale inquiry into this deliberate act
of intimidation and bring the perpetrators to book. "I urge the authorities to act
swiftly to deal with this unfortunate situation,".
