Why did they kill the Jamaican dude w/ the feather mohawk?


I know that Ox had requested it, however It was hard to understand Ox , so I was confused at to why they killed dude? Also , in the retaliation against Ox, was the voodoo chic like a boss or something ? Why'd they send her? Also was the dude w/ the mohawk very important ?

Well, Ox says about the guy (Sosa) that "him run the rude bwoy business right down yah so inna Kingston", meaning he is like the crime boss, which would make him Ox's competition. And he also says if someone from Jamaica would kill him, his people would take revenge on their whole family. So they need a foreigner to do it.
Then the man who apparently was the new boss, "Pelpa", after finding out Ox was behind the hit, sent his assassin, the girl, to New York to kill Ox.
