HGP Nightly News Reports | Police have recovered the burnt remains of a man at Phase Three, Wisroc, Linden, believed to be Jamal Bourne, also known as “Skinny.” Bourne was wanted by law enforcement in connection with several serious criminal offenses.
The remains were discovered early Wednesday morning in the area, reportedly burnt beyond recognition, with body parts scattered nearby. Sources close to the investigation indicate that a man who appeared in a livestream alongside Bourne is cooperating with authorities.
In a significant development, police have seized several illegal firearms during their operation, and six individuals are currently in custody as part of the investigation.
Bourne had recently garnered national attention after appearing in a live-streamed video with another man, where they openly displayed various weapons, including cutlasses, knives, and high-powered firearms. During that broadcast, threats were directed toward individuals described as enemies. At one point, Bourne was seen engaging in a dangerous game of Russian roulette with a firearm. The livestream ended abruptly after a gunshot was heard, followed by Bourne collapsing on camera.
Just days prior to this incident, Bourne had publicly denied all allegations against him in a televised statement, coinciding with the issuance of a police wanted bulletin.
Following the discovery of the remains believed to belong to Bourne, police are now analyzing the viral footage along with forensic evidence to clarify the circumstances surrounding his death.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY.
