Dancer 'Ice' gunned down
Popular dancer David Alexander Smith, more popularly called 'Ice' was gunned down along Newark Avenue (close to Keesing Avenue), Kingston 11, yesterday.
According to the St Andrew Central Police, Smith was shot and killed at 7:55 a.m., moments after he exited a bar where he had gone to purchase cigarettes.
Further reports are that the vehicle in which he was travelling, a Mitsubishi Lancer, was also stolen.
Head of Criminal Investigation for the St Andrew Central Police, Deputy Superintendent McArthur Sutherland said: "It is suspected that his car was bumped into because when the police arrived on the scene there was evidence of an accident. He went to the bar, came out and afterwards he was shot and killed."
The police say no motive has been established for the murder. However, DSP Sutherland noted that the police would be speaking with eyewitnesses.
"We are now working towards getting some crucial eyewitness statements because the murder occurred in broad daylight, so we know people saw," he said.
Yesterday, family and friends of the slain dancer were as confused as they were grief-stricken.
Upon visiting the Black Roses corner, in Arnett Gardens, St Andrew, after the incident, residents refused to comment on the incident.
Ice, a long-time member of the Black Roses Crew, created the popular 'Gully Creepa' dance. The dance brought attention to the dancer, especially after Jamaican speedster Usain Bolt performed the move after winning the 100-metre event at the 2008 Olympics in China, in August.

Ice
ALTHOUGH THE Christmas season was a busy time for dancehall star David Alexander Smith, also known as Ice, he could not pass on a festive tradition - Christmas Day dinner with family.
"When him finish eat him sey, 'Thank yuh mi sister, a so full a cyaan move'," his sister Natalie told The Gleaner yesterday.
The following day, Natalie Smith got news that her older brother was killed by gunmen at the Pon Di Banks bar on Newark Avenue, off Waltham Park Road.
A statement from the Consta-bulary Commu-nication Net-work said the 37-year-old Smith died instantly. His attackers, the police reported, took the Mitsubishi Lancer car he was driving.
Yesterday, detective Hemford Wade of the Half-Way Tree Police Station said a team from the Hunts Bay police found the vehicle at Walkers Crescent in the Waltham Park area.
Car scrapped
It was partially scrapped, Wade said. No arrests have been made.
The last four months had been positive for Smith, a member of the colourful Black Roses crew.
His dance move, the Gully Creepa, was made famous in August by triple Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt, who performed the dance during his victory celebrations at the Beijing Games.
When Bolt returned to the island, Ice performed the crouching move onstage in victory celebrations for the sprinter.
Smith is the third high-profile member of the Black Roses crew to be killed in seven years. Its founder William 'Willie Haggart' Moore was murdered at the crew's Lincoln Road base in April 2001 whereas Gerald 'Bogle' Levy, the crew's flamboyant lead dancer, was killed at a service station in January 2005.
That year, Smith was arrested and charged for shooting with intent and illegal possession of firearm. The charges were dropped.
Natalie Smith said her brother had turned his life around, concentrating on dancing which he had been doing since he left Rousseau Primary School.
David Alexander Smith is survived by four sisters and nine children.
