The police are probing another mass shooting incident in the country, this after gunmen shot eight persons on Bowens Road in St Andrew on Saturday night.
Two persons have been confirmed to have died, with subsequent reports pointing to a third individual as having since succumbed to injuries.
Two of the deceased have been identified as 35-year-old Kemar Hardware, a bar operator of Kingston 13, and a 19-year-old man so far only identified by his aliases, 'Stephen' and 'Brown Man'.
Reports are that about 11:40 pm, the now deceased persons were among a group of people standing along the roadway when armed men approached on foot and opened gunfire before fleeing the scene.
The police were alerted and the eight wounded persons were taken to hospital, where Hardware and the teenager were pronounced dead.
The police are theorising that the incident may have stemmed from an ongoing gang feud in the St Andrew South Police Division.
Investigations are ongoing into the the development.
The incident follows last month's mass shooting on Heroes Day in which five men were killed and two others injured during a football match in Pleasant Heights, formerly Wareika Hills, in Rockfort, East Kingston.
Prior to that there were notable mass shootings in Point Hill, St Catherine, and on Cherry Tree Lane in Four Paths, Clarendon.
