A TOP cop has slammed killer Jordan Owens for his actions and spoke of the complex investigation.

The Glasgow Times previously reported the 27-year-old was jailed for 23 years for the murder of Jamie Lee at the High Court in Glasgow today. 

He was also found guilty of the attempted murder of another man during the same incident.

Jamie Lee was shot during an incident near a children's play park off Ballantay Terrace in the Castlemilk area on Saturday, July 8, 2017 in what was an escalation of an apparent "low level" feud between the Owens and Lees families. 

The 23-year-old was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital but died a short time later. 

Now, Detective Superintendent Raymond Brown has slammed Owens for his "reckless" behaviour. 

He said: "Owens’s actions on that night in 2017 were reckless in the extreme.

"He caused the death of a young man and put the lives of others in danger.

"He will now face the consequences of his actions.

"While this does not change what happened, I hope this verdict will bring some closure to his family and friends."

Detective Superintendent Brown also spoke of the difficult investigation and thanked the local community for their help.

He said: "This was a long and extremely complex investigation and the fact a positive verdict has been reached is thanks to the support of the local community, coupled with the tireless efforts of our dedicated officers and staff, along with the work carried out by a number of partner agencies."

Owens escaped to Europe after the shooting and the hunt to catch him featured on BBC's Crimewatch Most Wanted List. 

He was captured in Lisbon in December 2019.
