Police in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, are searching for a 41-year-old man accused of fatally shooting his brother-in-law in a domestic dispute. The incident occurred Friday afternoon in Slipe, St. Elizabeth.

The victim has been identified as 32-year-old Kyle Campbell, also known as "Son Son," a resident of the Slipe district. According to a high-ranking police source, an altercation between the two men escalated around 5:30 p.m. when Campbell allegedly produced a machete.

Authorities report that the brother-in-law then allegedly pulled out a firearm and shot Campbell. The injured Campbell was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His brother-in-law fled the scene and is currently on the run.

The police are urging residents to utilize the Domestic Violence Intervention Centre in Santa Cruz to mediate and resolve disputes peacefully, following a separate recent murder case.
