The fourteen year-old girl, who was among three people wounded by gunmen along Hill Avenue, off Olympic Way, St Andrew on Thursday, has died.
 
She has been identified as Terona Thomas - otherwise called "Tee Tee" - of 12 Cinnamon Crescent, Kingston 11.
 
Terona was a student of Pembroke Hall High School. She was reportedly shot multiple times and died while being treated at hospital.
 
The other victims, a 29 year-old Crab Vendor of Greater Portmore, St Catherine and a 19 year-old man of Hill Avenue, are recuperating in hospital.
 
It was reported that, sometime after midday, a group of people was at a food stall when two armed men walked up and opened fire, hitting the three victims.
 
The police said the men escaped in a silver Nissan Note motor car.
 
The St Andrew South Police say there is no established motive for the shooting, and the perpetrators have not yet been identified.
 
The police say Hill Avenue was not previously an area of concern for them.
