From the Jamaica Gleaner, where you can read more on this story:
The dancehall fraternity has been left reeling after the shooting death of popular producer Patrick ‘Roach’ Samuels yesterday.
A police officer on the crime scene confirmed to The Gleaner that the producer was at the gas station at Mary Brown’s corner at 4:15 yesterday morning when gunmen opened fire on his vehicle.
Roach attempted to drive away, but more shots were fired at him. He later crashed along a section of Mannings Hill Road.
Roach was formerly Vybz Kartel’s manager and also made headlines in 2011 when he teamed up with Justus Arison for the popular rhythms ‘Overproof’ and ‘Overtime’.
A year earlier, Roach made headlines for his work on the ‘Siren’ rhythm, which featured Sean Paul’s international hit, Break Out, as well as Kartel’s Emergency.
Within minutes of hearing the news, several dancehall artistes took to social media to pay tribute to the producer.
