This year, so far, 60 murders have been recorded compared with 38 last year for the same period, 50 in 2006 and 44 in 2005. MALONEY'S second shooting incident in three days claimed the life of a teenager Tuesday night. 17-year-old Roshawn Williams was shot dead while liming with friends outside Building Five at Maloney Gardens around 8.15 p.m. His family's apartment is in that building. Williams, also known as "Monster", died on the spot after he was shot three times, to the head and body. A nickname family members said he may have received because of his towering height. Williams was shot about 300 metres from the Maloney Sports Complex where he frequently played basketball. However, speaking at the Forensic Science Centre yesterday, Williams' mother, who declined to give her name, said the Millennium club basketball player did not intend to play his favourite sport that fatal night. Williams was wearing a black jersey, grey pants and orange and grey Nike sneakers.
