Driver admits killing passenger in NS crash
The severly damaged Honda Accord after the November 2013 crash
(CNS): A 20-year old man from West Bay has admitted causing the death of a former senior police officer’s son in major road crash in North Side over two years ago. Antonio Elvis Kelly pleaded guilty to causing the death of Jordan Ebanks, from Northward, by careless driving as a result of the single vehicle crash in Old Robin Road in the early morning hours of Sunday, 17 November 2013. Kelly was driving a Honda Accord, which belonged to Ebanks, the son of former RCIPS deputy commissioner Rudy Dixon, when he smashed into a wall.
Kelly, who fled the scene, was arrested a few days after the major smash but was not charged until last October. Following his admissions Thursday, he was remanded in custody and is expected to be sentenced in August after his defence attorney requested a social enquiry report.
fb profile says it all……
I am Jordan’s mother. Thanks for all the supportive comments. I am in tears opening this post from CNS and finding out this way that a plea was finally entered and that after 2 and a half years, something is finally happening and that Jordan seems to have mattered to the RCIP, after all.

I can’t begin to imagine why anyone would click “lol” on this post. I’ll choose to believe that they aren’t very bright and think that LOL means “lots of love.”
Justice for Jordan finally!! Xoxooxxoxooxoxoxoxoxooxxooxoxox
I know that accident can happen to anyone , but the despicable behavior of this inhumane kind of people should be widely condemned by the public . Who runs and leaves their injured friend or anyone in an accident , is not human but a animal .
Have you ever been in an accident? Did you feel that panic? Also while possibly intoxicated a bit also?
Did you read what I said ? “It’s inhumane ” Why should we run from our sins , because you’re drunk and stupid , when the Lord Jesus Chirst died on the cross for all of our sins .
Tragic preventable mistake that the young man will regret for the rest of his life. But at least he had the courage to do the right thing and admit his guilt. Well done lad.
You may not see them 3:33a because there is one significant difference – this chap admitted his wrong.
Your brilliant lawyer hero, who is an officer of the court and expected to be truthful before the court, couldn’t have convinced a 6 year old with his stories.
Don’t go praising this guy for his admission – it was two years late, and I’m sure it was only because he stood a chance at a lesser sentence with a guilty plea.
excuse me it takes like 2 years for court cases to start anyway how do you know that he didnt turn himself in? or did he admit it asap when he was first arrested?some dont learn fear sir.. they were young and dumb werent we all & took life for granted. anyways im not saying a year or 2 punishment wont hurt but this is more sad than anything else… Try to learn respect if you feel like Mr. Perfect well regular people mess up everday bank on that
Why did it take two plus years for this to go to trial? Something is seriously wrong with our judicial system.
Here’s a nice nice vitriolic comment – leaving the scene of any accident is illegal but leaving the scene of one causing serious injury or death is despicable regardless of the nationality of the driver. Why does everything have to be about “us or them”??
The poster who challenged for “vitriolic comments from fellow Caymanians” clearly has issues of xenophobia against Caymanians! Disgusting!!
8:20 What’s sauce for the goose, should be sauce for the gander. Riches nor stature should play any part with actions. Fairness across the board. Guilt has levels, which one would you choose?
Let’s have some nice vitriolic comments from fellow Caymanians in a similar vein to those that the expatriate lawyer recd in a recent case.Unfortunately, despite this being far more serious I very much doubt we will see any.
You have misread the room. The misfortunes of a rich prat in a fancy car making up a bogus story was the primary driver of the commentary in the other case.
So I was right about Caymanian comments in this case. He only admitted guilt because the police had irrefutable evidence. To say leaving someone injured is despicable when in fact I believe he did return and apologise, and then to say leaving the scene when someone is dying or already dead is only “illegal” speaks for itself. Ironically this poster is accusing me of being xenophobic, did he read the posts about the expatriate lawyer?. My comments have so far been proven correct.
You have made a lot of assumptions, 9:36am
oh yes. Where in his whole scenario did the “police have irrefutable evidence” did u even knowabout this case befor it was posted? or those people.. lol this is like um 1/10 of a story sir and im not saying punishment isnt due but your still ignorant.
3.16pm read the mother’s post regarding irrefutable evidence.What would you and fellow Caymanians have said if the driver had been a young expatriate?.I am certainly not ignorant but merely stating some facts.
