Gunmen struck at the nightclub
Live Wire Enterprise which was former called La Roose in Portmore, St.
Catherine Wednesday night killing four persons, including a man who was on the
police most wanted list.
A fifth person was also injured.
The attack occurred shortly before midnight at the back of the night spot and is the second killing to occur at the popular hangout in just over a year.
La Roose was reportedly in full swing when armed men entered and opened fire.
Ricardo Thomas otherwise called "Bully", who is reportedly one of the operators of La Roose, his brother, Kirk Thomas, and another man who is known only as "Mampy Zeeks" are three of victims who are from Kingston addresses.
A police source told RJR News that the early morning attack may be linked to a shooting which occurred in Olympic Gardens also in Kingston last weekend.
Checks revealed that Ricardo Thomas was on the country's most wanted list and was nabbed by the police at a house in Barbican, St. Andrew on October 18.
It was reported that he was in possession of two nine millimetre pistols and 49 rounds of ammunition.
However, there was a surprise turn in the case when he walked free despite pleading guilty to gun charges.
Thomas was given three years probation and fined $1 million in the Gun Court in December.
He was also linked to an 18 month upsurge in violence in Cockburn Pen, Kingston in which 60 persons were killed and was also wanted for the 2004 murder of Devonde Lawla on White Walk in Kingston.
In March 2008, eight persons were shot at the Portmore club during the popular British Link Up Dance when Clifton Reid, 47, of Lincoln Road, Kingston was killed.
A fifth person was also injured.
