Rushawn Patterson, accused of murdering social media personality Aneka “Slickianna” Townsend in 2022, was fatally shot by police during a reported confrontation in Hanover on Tuesday morning. Patterson, who was out on bail, was awaiting his next court date on October 15.
The incident occurred around 5:40 a.m. on February 25, though police have not yet released specific details. Patterson was arrested in November 2022 after Townsend’s body was discovered in the sea in Reading, St. James, on October 21. A post-mortem confirmed she was strangled, leading to his murder charge on November 11.
Reports indicate Townsend traveled from Kingston to Montego Bay on October 20, 2022, and was seen with Patterson before an argument led to her death. Her body was later discarded
