Reports are that at about 1:40am, Jase and relatives were at home when a gunman entered the premises and opened fire at them.

The 3-year-old, his eight 8-year-old brother and their 31-year-old father were hit.

They were taken to hospital where Jase was pronounced dead and the others were admitted for treatment.

Head of the Area 4 Police Assistant Commissioner Michael Phipps said the incident is believed to be gang related.

He is urging Jubby and Romie to surrender to the police immediately.

Meanwhile, Member of Parliament for West Kingston Desmond mckenzie has condemned the  brutal gun attack.

noting that the incident is most regrettable, the m-p urged residents to tell the police what they know to enable a breakthrough in investigations as soon as possible.

Speaking on behalf of Mr. McKenzie, Government Senator Abka Fitz Henley said the MP is offering a $600,000 dollar reward to anyone who gives credible information to law enforcement which leads to the arrest and charge of the person or persons responsible for what Mr. Mckenzie described as a wicked act.
