Law enforcers in the United States have apprehended Doujon Duwayne Griffiths, a St James man wanted for murder in connection with the deaths of Latoya ‘Budeisha’ Reid’s daughter and granddaughter more than two years ago. Griffiths faces charges of first-degree murder for the deaths of Massania Malcolm, also known as ‘Carla-Shay’, and her one-year-old daughter, Jordania, in Miami in September 2021. He was arrested after a traffic stop in Linden, New Jersey, and will be extradited to Orange County to face justice for the crimes. Griffiths also faces a charge of attempted murder for shooting Malcolm’s boyfriend, who is Jordania’s father. Reid, a popular social media personality from Montego Bay, has vowed to ensure that justice is served in the case, expressing relief at Griffiths’ arrest.
Reid, known by her Instagram handle ‘goodbody_budeisha’, has been sharing Griffiths’ photographs since the murders occurred. She notified her followers of Griffiths’ arrest on Instagram, promising to bring him to justice for the deaths of her daughter and granddaughter. In a heartfelt message to her departed loved ones, Reid expressed her love and longing, vowing to seek justice for their untimely deaths. She thanked her supporters and US law enforcers for their assistance in apprehending Griffiths, indicating her commitment to continuing the journey with strength and resilience.
The tragedy unfolded on September 7, 2021, when deputies responded to a shooting incident and found Malcolm’s boyfriend with multiple gunshot wounds. The injured man reported being shot by a friend while in a car with his girlfriend and daughter, who were later found deceased. Malcolm died from a gunshot wound, while the toddler suffocated after being locked inside the vehicle. Griffiths, who was staying with the couple at the time, reportedly fled Jamaica and entered the United States illegally earlier that year. The boyfriend’s account to investigators led to Griffiths being identified as the suspect in the case.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office expressed hope that Griffiths’ arrest would bring some sense of peace and closure to the community and the families affected by the tragic case. The agency emphasized its commitment to seeking justice for the victims, even after years have passed since the crime. Griffiths’ extradition to Orange County will mark the beginning of legal proceedings to hold him accountable for the deaths of Massania Malcolm and Jordania. As Reid continues to mourn her daughter and granddaughter, she remains resolute in her quest for justice and ensuring that Griffiths faces the full consequences of his actions.
The devastating loss of Massania Malcolm and Jordania has left a lasting impact on their family and community, with Reid vowing to keep their memories alive and seek justice in their honor. The arrest of Doujon Duwayne Griffiths provides a glimmer of hope for closure and accountability in the heartbreaking case of the mother and daughter’s deaths. Reid’s determination to see Griffiths face justice reflects the resilience and strength of a grieving mother seeking to uphold the memory of her loved ones. As the legal process unfolds, the families and community affected by this tragedy may find some solace in knowing that steps are being taken to ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.

Why is the grandmother seeking justice instead of the father? Seems suspicious.
I think the grandmother should take matters into her own hands.
Why is the mother seeking justice in Florida? Shouldnt it be in Jamaica? 🤔
Hey there! Seeking justice in Florida could be due to a variety of reasons, such as legal expertise, resources, or personal connections. Its not uncommon for individuals to choose a different location for legal proceedings. Lets support her pursuit of justice regardless of the location.
I think the grandmother should take matters into her own hands and seek revenge.
I think the grandmother should take matters into her own hands. Eye for an eye.
Whoa, thats a pretty extreme viewpoint. Taking matters into her own hands could lead to even more trouble. Its important to find peaceful and legal solutions to conflicts. Violence only begets more violence. Lets strive for understanding and resolution instead of retaliation.
Why is the focus only on the mother and not the father? Justice for all!
Because historically, the burden of childcare and household responsibilities has fallen disproportionately on mothers. Its time to challenge these outdated stereotypes and demand equality in parenting roles. Both mothers and fathers deserve recognition and support. Justice for all means justice for everyone.
I think the mother should take matters into her own hands if the system fails.
Why is nobody talking about the fathers role in this tragedy?
The focus should be on the victims, not deflecting blame. Lets prioritize supporting those affected by the tragedy instead of shifting attention to unrelated issues. Empathy and compassion should be our primary concern, not assigning fault.
This is tragic, but maybe the mother should focus on healing instead of revenge.
I think the grandmother should take matters into her own hands and seek revenge.
No, revenge is not the answer. It will only perpetuate a cycle of violence and hurt. The grandmother should seek justice through legal means and focus on healing herself and her family. Revenge will only bring more pain in the end.
Do you think the justice system will truly deliver for this grieving family?
I highly doubt it. The justice system is notorious for failing families in need. Its all talk and no action. This family will probably be let down like so many others before them. Its a sad reality we live in.
Do you think the justice system will deliver for the Jamaican mother?
Why do some crimes get more media attention than others? #JusticeForAll
Because the media thrives on sensationalism and ratings, not justice. Its all about what grabs attention, not whats truly important. Dont expect fairness from the media. Stay informed but question everything. #MediaBias #StayWoke
Is the justice system failing this family in their time of need?
The justice system has failed many families, not just this one. Its a broken system that prioritizes bureaucracy over justice. Until real change is made, more families will continue to suffer. Its time for accountability and reform.
Do you think the justice system will actually deliver for this Jamaican mother?
