WATCH: Pringle Calls on Attorney General to Address Fatal Shooting of Bolans Teen
Leader of the Opposition, Jamale Pringle, has used his 2026 Budget rebuttal to call on Attorney General Steadroy “Cutie” Benjamin to publicly address the death of 18-year-old Kahleel Simon, the Bolans teenager who was shot and killed on the night of his birthday.
Pringle said the incident has shaken the nation and demanded clarity and accountability from the authorities. He argued that the Attorney General, as the country’s chief legal officer, must speak directly to the public on the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting.
“If anything at all, the parents deserve answers,” Pringle stated during his presentation, noting the family’s ongoing grief and frustration.
Simon’s relatives have been staging repeated protests outside Police Headquarters, calling for the removal of the officer who fired the fatal shot and urging the authorities to move swiftly on the investigation.
Pringle said the silence from senior officials is unacceptable and insisted that the public must be reassured that justice will be pursued transparently and without delay.
