The person of interest in the murder of a social media influencer fails to show up for an interview with cops

The police are reporting 

that the Saturday, 5pm deadline that was issued for Rushane ‘Chizzie’ Patterson — the man identified as a person of interest in the killing of social media influencer, Aneka ‘Slickianna’ Townsend — to report to the authorities has passed and he is nowhere to be found.

Police report that the body of 35-year-old Townsend 

was fished from the sea in Reading, St James on Friday. Investigators said the body was found in a semi-nude state with what appeared to be a wound to the head.

The woman’s body was positively identified by a relative on Saturday as that of the social media influencer.

At the same time, the police named Patterson, a Hanover resident, as a person of interest in their probe into the death of the woman.

The police said Patterson, 

who is from the Prosper section of the parish, was being asked to turn himself over at the Freeport Police Station by 5pm on Saturday to assist with their investigations.

“We have Rushane Patterson of Prosper, Hanover, as a person of interest in this investigation and we are asking him to turn himself in to the police by 5pm,” the police said.

Checks were made with the police station at 6pm and the police said they were yet to hear from Patterson.

The police said a series of operations 

were conducted on Saturday morning in a neighboring parish and a vehicle was also recovered.

Additionally, the high command 

is asking anyone who believes that they have information that can assist the investigation to call the police emergency 119, the JCF tip line at 811, or Crime Stop at 311.
