The Fight Continues: Family and MP Renew Calls for Justice for Kahleel Simon

Family members, friends, and supporters of the late Kahleel Simon once again gathered outside the Police Headquarters on American Road on Friday, demanding justice in the ongoing investigation into his death.

Among those present was Member of Parliament for St. Mary’s South, Kelvin “Shugy” Simon, who has been a consistent advocate for accountability and transparency in the case.

The MP joined relatives and community members who say they are frustrated that the officer who pulled the trigger and killed the teenage boy on his birthday is still at work.

“An innocent young man, full of promise, cut down in the prime of his life by those sworn to protect and serve. Kahleel Simon should be alive today, not another name added to the list of victims of senseless police violence. We will not be silent. We will not accept excuses. We will not allow this injustice to be buried beneath bureaucracy and lies”, Simon said.

“To Kahleel’s family, we stand with you. To his supporters, we join you. And to the powers that be, the blood of this innocent young man is on your hands until justice is served,” he added

They made it clear that they want him suspended from the force until investigations are complete.

Holding placards and chanting “Justice for Kahleel”, the group called for renewed police action and greater public attention to what they describe as an unresolved tragedy that continues to haunt their community.

MP Simon said his presence was not political but personal, as he stands in solidarity with the grieving family.

“This is about justice. Plain and simple. We will not stop until Kahleel and his family get the answers they deserve,” Simon declared.

The peaceful demonstration marked yet another chapter in the family’s ongoing campaign for justice, as they continue to press authorities for updates and accountability in the case.
