Shagel, whose given name is Junior Thompson, was found dead at Popcaan’s Cherry Gardens house earlier this month.

The 38-year-old was discovered lying in a pool of blood in a room on the property by workmen about 8:30 a.m.

Initial reports indicate that he was murdered during a home invasion. Its alleged that armed men entered the “Family” deejay’s residence, hoping to commit a robbery, when they stumbled upon Thompson.
