KINGSTON – David Alexander Smith, the Jamaican entertainment figure who created the dance performed by Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt to celebrate his victories, was shot to death at a Kingston bar, local media reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Radio Jamaica said Smith, popularly known as “Ice,” was shot and killed Friday morning at a bar after a brawl with the attackers. Police told the station that robbery was a possible motive, as the attackers reportedly drove off with the dancer\u2019s rental car after the murder.<\/p>\n

Bolt went on to set a new world record in the 100 meters and was part of the Jamaican team that won the 4×100-meter relay.<\/p>\n

The island nation has one of the highest murder rates in the world, with over 1,500 people murdered in 2008, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights said in early December.<\/p>\n
