The shooting incident took place around 11:00 p.m. on Saturday night at 'Elrose Shop' in Bath Village where Chapman went to play music. 

After the shooting 22 year-old Chapman was rushed to hospital and he succumbed to his injuries shortly after 12:00 a.m. on Sunday morning.

In an exclusive interview with Sknvibes.com Sheila Arthurton explained the circumstances surrounding the incident. 

"Well on Saturday night he went up by Elrose shop to play music when some fellas went up there and shot him. Right now I can't even say how I feel because this is not something that I can deal with and the fact is that I am never going to see my child again. Regardless of how bad he was, as people say, he did not deserve to die that way. If he did something to someone they should have gone to the police," his mother said.

She continued: "Whenever he does anything they [the police] are accustomed to holding him for 72 hours and then letting him go. They just went and kill my child. Up to now the police have not shown any type of interest in even saying "I hear you dog dead and I am sorry." I can't deal with it right now; I am just trying to put my best foot forward. They kill one, nothing for it. They roll on they father and kill the father and now a couple days after they gone and kill Jamarli."

The distraught mother of seven further went on to explain that she is presently dealing with the loss of death as well as the negativity of persons in the society at large.

"People have a lot of negative things to say but right now I am not concerned with them because I believe in the Lord. Everyone's turn will come. I do not know what is next. I am just waiting to see what is next. I believe in the Lord and that is why I am not going to do anything about this. I do not want my hands dirty. I try to go to church and I try to serve God in the best way I can and that's why I am not going to do anything. Everyone has to face their own quota," she said.~~adz:Right~~

Arthurton added, "If these people are so bad and they are using guns walking up and down shooting people then after they shoot the person they need to walk go straight to the police station and say I shot this person (whether is my child or someone else's) and see the gun here. They are walking and playing so bad and the police have to be up and down looking for them. Jamarli did not shoot himself. Someone took up a gun and did this. They are only walking and playing bad."

In response to these events Inspector of Police Andre Mitchell at the Charlestown Police Station explained that investigations into the matter are currently ongoing.

"The Criminal Investigation Department is investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of Jamarli Chapman, 22 of Bath Village which occurred on Saturday night, April 14," he said.

A post mortem is scheduled for today Wednesday April 18, to determine the exact cause of death. The autopsy would be performed Dr. Stephen Jones a forensic pathologist of Barbados.
