Barbara Gayle, Justice Coordinator

Reputed gang leader Christopher Linton more popularly known as 'Dog Paw' has been found guilty on gun-related charges.

The ruling was handed down a short while ago by Justice Sarah Thompson-James in the Home Circuit Court.

His co-accused Micah Allen was also found guilty.

Sentencing has been set for March 15.

They are charged with shooting with intent and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

The Crown led evidence that on April 11, 2010 Linton and Allen were among a group of gunmen who shot at a police team along Tavern Drive, St Andrew.

A third accused, Ricardo Jones, was freed last month following a no-case submission.
