Who shot Ghost in Power season 6? All the latest theories on who shot James St Patrick

Who shot Ghost?
Given Ghost is not short of enemies there are several suspects who could be responsible for the shooting.
So far, Tate (Larenz Tate) Tommy (Joseph Sikora), Dre (Rotimi Akinosho) and Paz (Elizabeth Rodriguez) have all been ruled out as being the killer with Tommy Egan even coming face to face with the killer in episode 13 - so we believe.
Now, just Saxe, Tariq and Tasha remain as the key suspects.
However, fans have thrown a few more into the bag since the series continued earlier this year.
Saxe (Shane Johnson)

During the show's midseason break the cast members were promoting the series and when Starz released a promo for part two, Joseph Sikora who plays Tommy Egan, shared the clip online.
Shane Johnson who plays Saxe in the drama replied: “My brother, you’re on your game - always an inspiration.”
Sikora replied to Johnson: “You’re just saying that cuz you shot Ghost.”
Did Sikora leak the ending online?
Saxe has been one of many trying to nail Ghost from season one - could he have finally succeeded?
Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr)

Tariq has become distant from his father Ghost since he began to spend time with Kanan in series three.
He learned more about his drugs business and the lies Ghost told the children while they were growing up.
Could the reason why Tariq wants to be like Kanan instead of Ghost be because he is the former's son?
If Tasha knew Kanan was the father of her kids, it may also explain why she was so eager to help Ghost set him up in season two.
Once he was released and getting closer to Tariq, she had no issue with suggesting they kill him to get him out of the way, could this be because she didn't want the secret of Kanan being the real father to come out?
If Tariq learned Ghost wasn’t his father in season six but Kanan was, it’s likely he’d want to exact revenge.
Furthermore, Tasha has become very frustrated with Ghost and the hold he has over her and the children.
Could she had finally revealed the truth to Tariq, prompting him to take everything away from Ghost by shooting him?
Tasha (Naturi Naughton)

Tasha has several reasons to want Ghost dead.
First he left her and ended their marriage to be with his childhood sweetheart Angela Valdez, then he killed her lover Terry Silver and ruined her chance of another relationship.
Not forgetting when he laid his hands on her in episode nine after the pair were arguing about their son Tariq entering the drug game - and those are just a few of the many reasons.
Speaking previously about Tasha’s motivations for pulling the trigger on Ghost, writer Kemp explained: “He actually puts hands on her. And if you look at the way we shot that scene, it’s not that he actually hurts her, he covers her mouth with one hand. So she can’t even scream.
“And to be dominant like that, to know that someone anytime they can come and get you, find you.”
However, Tasha killed former best friend LaKeisha to protect her family, including Ghost - but had she finally had enough?
Angela (Lela Loren)

A far-fetched theory from a fan on YouTube included Angela helping Ghost to fake his own death.
The fan said: “My wild card theory is this whole thing was a setup for Ghost to be killed by none other than Ghost himself and Angela."
“Angela and Ghost came up with this plan in the last episode of season five the day him, Angela, Tommy and Tasha (Naturi Naughton) met up."
explaining that it was her gun that was used to do the shooting.
Fans will know that Angela died after being shot by Tommy at the end of season five with her body even being exhumed in season six episode 12 by her sister Paz in order to retrieve a burner phone.
But nothing is impossible in Power.
Ramona (Cynthia Addai-Robinson)

Power fans are convinced Ramona is Terry Silver’s sister – and she shot Ghost to avenge his death.
The pair fell for each other in the first half of season six, with Ghost telling Tasha he was moving on with Ramona.
Viewers initially thought she was related to Breeze, the man Ghost killed to become the chief drug dealer.
But now they are convinced she is actually the sister of Terry.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "I think it's Ramona that killed Ghost. Probably related to Terry Silver or his ex-wife #Power.”
Another tweeted: "Ramona killed Ghost because he killed her brother, Terry Silver.”
