Undocumented Jamaican immigrant admits to murdering boy in drive-by

An 18-year-old undocumented Jamaican immigrant charged with murdering a 12-year-old boy in a drive-by shooting has reportedly admitted to the crime.

Police in Connecticut arrested Tajay Chambers stemming from the December 18 death of Clinton Howell outside his family’s home one week before Christmas.

Court documents show that Chambers told officers: ‘I didn’t know that he was 12 years old,’ referring to the victim.

Chambers, who has had an ICE detainer placed on him, faced a judge Thursday morning in Bridgeport where he was arraigned on charges of murder; murder with special circumstances; use of a firearm during the commission of a felony; illegal possession of a firearm without a permit; risk of injury to a child; reckless endangerment, and larceny.
