Suspect Jamaican killer arrested, 2nd man on the run
(CNS): Police are searching for a man who fled from them yesterday afternoon following an operation to track down a murder suspect from Jamaica. Rudolph Almando Shaw (30) was found by RCIPS officers in George Town and arrested, but another man who was with him at the time fled on foot and the search for him continued Saturday morning. The chain of events is not yet clear but both of the police helicopters and numerous RCIPS units are involved in the manhunt, which has stretched from Fairbanks to West Bay.
Shaw, who is believed to have arrived in Cayman illegally via canoe, was picked up in the vicinity of Seymour Road (a.k.a. Dump Road) in the industrial area and has since been handed over to Customs and Border Control. He and the second man tried to evade the police but the armed officers rammed the car the men were in, preventing them from driving away. Shaw was then apprehended while the other man ran away.
The second man is described as approximately 5’9” tall, of slim build and dark complexion and with short hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a white sleeveless shirt. Police have not said whether or not the second man is also wanted for any specific crimes or if he arrived in Cayman illegally as well.
“The Cayman Islands is not a safe haven for criminals,” Detective Superintendent Peter Lansdown said Friday as the manhunt was underway. “We are working with our colleagues in Jamaica on this case and believe the man arrived on island by boat. An active search is underway to locate and arrest the other person. It’s a criminal offence to aid or assist a person who is wanted by the authorities, including those who are here illegally.’’
The public is being reminded that according to the Police Act (2021 Revision), it is an offence to obstruct, mislead or act in such a way as to prevent the apprehension of a person who has committed an offence. If prosecuted under this section, you may be liable on conviction to a fine of $5000 or imprisonment for two years or both.
CNS has contacted the RCIPS for an update on the missing man, who was also seen by witnesses running from the police in the Bolton’s area of West Bay on Friday evening.
Investigators are encouraging anyone with information about these men to call the George Town Police Station at 949-4222 or dial 911 if the circumstances are time-sensitive.

Prior to 1959 Cayman Islands were under the patronage of Jamaica. It’s interesting to see all the comments made against Jamaicans! I tried speaking with the Governor’s office concerning a humane matter, and was net with an emotional paranoia from someone by the name of Maria. Without taking the time to listen, evaluate and comprehen the concerns I presented, she hang the phonevup on me, saying, she could not help. Putting a an individual who is untrained in a position which requires finesse, is an injustice to the public. I doubt if the Governor is aware of what goes on in his office. So sad! Not fit to serve the public!
Cayman kind is no more we barley have Caymanians ‘here anymore have you guys jus decide to take a drive out an observe what’s really going on we are out numbered by the doubles its way more Jamaicans in the Cayman island than its own people I don’t even see Cayman people on the streets anymore pure Jamaicans an tbh its too late to try an stop that now…
A place where Caymanians are out numbered 4-1 what do you expect?Serious times are here now, the sellout is complete.
Be sure to thanks the fat man in the big chair! Mass status grants coming home to roost.
Hundreds more status grants are coming. The failure to equally and consistently impose rollover means that there are many people here, including the children of foreign civil servants, who claim Cayman as their home. We are letting them stay too long without any effective regulation, or criteria.
I see a lot of Jamaican and Caymanian bashing in these comments. Cayman has a long history of being a hideout for criminals from around the globe (the UK, Europe, the US, Canada, South Africa, etc.). They’re just better at blending in due to having the complexion that doesn’t immediately attract scrutiny.
Yeah but they don’t murder and steal.
@11/07/2022 at 12:30 pm – Looks like you’re using Trump’s tactic of telling bald faced lies when faced with the truth.
OMG All that resource and no return on investment.
Apart from of course, a gentle reminder about some sort of presumed accomplice.
No surprise at yet another poor showing from RCIPS.
No surprise at all…all toys and no competence.
How is it that someone who rams a police SUV with armed police inside then manages to escape on foot? He just out ran them? Who was it, Usain Bolt?
I wonder what percent of the runners get caught….. it seems that most of them get away. I also wonder if they ever used canines……. They can out run most runners. It seems to me that by using some canine cops they could increase the arrest rate.
Virtually everyone on this island is either related or has one degree of separation. Nearly impossible to effectively police an environment like this without taking steps that the existing police force and government can’t/won’t take.
The crime here won’t be getting better, only worse.
No but more important a fellow countryman. They have come here an are doing what the narrative the UK has used to displace and replace Caymanians. Taking good care of their very own! sad times for Cayman!
Its literally always dump road.
Shady stuff increasing every night the sun sets. Be mindful of your surroundings and lock your doors and parents always remember, nothing good happens after midnight.
Wur aw dooooomed!
Them’s the breaks!
Oooh, that’s unlucky. Once you let a jamaican run, you ain’t catching them, ask Gatlin et al.
The Jamaican police in the RCIPS don’t seem to have the same turn of speed! A planned operation yet one of the guys managed to run away? No perimeter, no cut off team?
Seems to be getting out of hand with these Jamaicans and all these robberies, guns and canoes. Let’s purchase a few more helicopters, radars, police boats etc and stop them miles off shore. No place for unemployed Jamaican criminals on these shores.
Youre giving Caymanian coconspirators a pass
No place for Caymanian unemployed criminals either.
Scapegoating the Jamaicans while giving free pass to Caymanians is classic.
Scapegoating ?? How does 600 Murders happen in 5 months. That’s police stats . Criminality is culture there !!
A single drone, loitering, would literally end the problem (forever if armed).
And at a fraction of the cost of the helicopters.
Drones have greater purpose plus ain’t no money 💰 in that better targets $$$$ in surrounding countries !
Also tell Mac Kenny Saunders and Seymour to stop welcoming them for the sake of Wotes.
Why in God’s name are these Jamaicans here in the first place?
Get rid of them!
Great idea….. and while you’re at it, get rid of the locals that don’t want to work!
key word “Local”, locals are Cayman and Caymanians problems. Jamaican wanted men, or any other outlaw nationality is not a Cayman or Caymanian problem. You sound silly.
@10/7/2022 at 3:59 pm – Do you even know who the “locals” are? I’d wager that you couldn’t tell a Caymanian from a Jamaican, Honduran, Cuban, African American, or a Trinidadian. Get out of your comfort zone, and actually make an attempt at understanding who the “locals” actually are. Maybe have an actual conversation with one.
If God didn’t want them here he would not have sent them.
Maybe because Cayman is our broken off province?
Check the Jamaica Olympic Committee for a list of their long-distance runners. Seymour Drive to Boltin’s Avenue is a pretty long run.
Not only is Cayman a safe haven for criminals, but they can run for public office!
Let’s not start talking about City of London and what goes on as an enterprise in Old Smokey.
Sounds like England.
Yah and they still in office.
Ain’t that disgusting? It’s like having bull poop sitting in the chair.
Given it is illegal to aid and abet, and we are continually exposed to circumstances where criminals are aided and abetted, where are the prosecutions and where applicable, deportations? The idea that we actually have the rule of law here is absurd. Congratulations to the RCIP in catching the first guy. Good luck with the other AND all those that have been assisting them.
Agreed 100%. We have proper laws but no one is ever prosecuted. Why is that? Poor policing and conviction rates? Or is it because most of the people breaking the law have connections to others on the island who can brush it under the carpet for them. Or do our government just not want every Caymanian to have a police record.
We have imported standards of acceptable behavior from places with no standards.
Misdirection is a trick used by magicians. Your attempted use created no magic. Clever by half.
Wonder if certain businesses will ever be charged for aiding and abetting.
Do tell!
I’m sure the police could trace the car to see who it belongs to.
