The teenage son of convicted drug traffickers Dwight and Keva Major was attacked and murdered by a gang of cutlass and knife-wielding assailants on the side of Baillou Hill Road south last night.

Seventeen-year-old Enrico Major was a high school student who lived in the Soldier Road area.

Head of the Central Detective Unit Superintendent Paul Rolle said that around 7 p.m. police discovered the teenager lying dead on the sidewalk in front of a barbershop north of the intersection of Carmichael Road.

Rolle said the victim was walking south along Baillou Hill Road with one of his friends when they were attacked by a group of men. "One of whom produced a cutlass and chopped the victim to the head," Rolle said.

"Another one produced an item and stabbed him once to the upper left back." Rolle said no one was in custody in connection with the murder at the time, but he said they were working with solid leads.

Despite that, he appealed to the public for information. Dwight and Keva Major were both extradited to the U.S. on charges of conspiracy to import cocaine and marijuana into the United States.

Keva Major was released in 2008 as part of a plea deal. She currently lives in New Providence, The Guardian understands. Major is still serving time in federal prison.

The family was said to be in shock and did not wish to comment last night. The incident pushed the murder count for 2014 to 56, according to The Nassau Guardian's records.

That was not the only murder this weekend. A man was shot dead in front of his home on Montgomery Avenue, off Carmichael Road on Saturday, police said.

The man, 28, was standing in front of the residence around 6 p.m. when a man approached him and shot him several times before fleeing the scene in a white vehicle, police said.

The victim, whose identity has not been released, was pronounced dead on scene. In a separate incident, police found a man hanging from a tree with a rope around his neck on Saturday off the Western Road, near Clifton Heritage National Park.

The discovery was made around 10:30 a.m., according to police. Police said they believe the man found was reported missing by relatives on May 25. His identity was not released.

The man's body was badly decomposed, police reported. Police said an autopsy would confirm the cause of death.
