Grounding the shield at both ends will create a ground loop, and
therefore trouble. If the " JP4 Shell" in the drawing were only the
connector shell, not connected to anything, then connecting to it would
merely extend the screen right to the end. BUT you've added "Gnd" to the
label, to indicate that it's grounded at that end, right? Draw a great
looping line connecting the two "Gnd" labels. What do you have if the
red connection is made?

My preference is to ground screens at the driving end, and you've done
that. No more is needed.
