Gallimore has been on the police radar for quite some time but manage to keep a low profile in an effort to mask his movements and whereabouts.

His name featured regularly on the St Catherine South Police Division wanted list of persons tagged in connection with the criminal underworld.

According to detectives, the hunt for Gallimore intensified following last year’s murder of 31-year-old Kierell Plummer otherwise called ‘Kyle’ of Bannister district, northern Old Harbour.

Based on information collated by investigators at the Old Harbour CIB, Gallimore, it is said, was the hit-man behind the slaying of Plummer.

One investigator disclosed to Old Harbour News that Gallimore was regarded as “dangerous” even among those in the criminal underworld, as he allegedly specializes in “contract killings”.

In addition to the killing of Plummer, Gallimore was also allegedly linked to a spate of break-ins in the community last year but witnesses were unwilling to come forward because of fear, an officer informed Old Harbour News.
