ACP Chester Williams - Commander, Southside
"On Friday night, sometime after 11pm, the police received information of a male person who was seen lying down on the street in the area of Raccoon Street and Boulevard. Police responded and upon arrival they found the person to be one Kenroy Daly, a 17 year old. He appeared to have been severely beaten and stabbed. He was rushed to the KHMH by the police and he is currently admitted in a critical but stable condition. We are hoping for his full recovery. Police investigation has so far led to the arrest of a 16 year old in respect to that matter. He was charged with attempted murder and dangerous harm."

"Like I said the victim is in a critical, but stable condition and so far the police have not been able to ascertain from the victim exactly what transpired. But we were able through our investigation gather statements from people who were around and it is on that basis that we were able to make an arrest in that matter. From our investigation without going into too much details, it would appear that the issue was over a female."
