The police theorise that an ongoing gang conflict led to the fatal shooting of a restaurant operator and a jerk vendor in Green Island, Hanover on Wednesday night.
Inspector Nadine Brown of the Hanover Police Division told Radio Jamaica News that the men were attacked and shot at a business establishment along the Green Island main road about 10 p.m.
The deceased are Romaine Jones, otherwise called 'Juvenile', a 35-year-old business operator and owner of Lobster Smokehouse restaurant, as well as Elsworth Foster, otherwise called 'Bower', a 56-year-old jerk vendor. Both men were from South Spring district in Green Island.
"The police are following leads at this time but believe that this incident is a spill-off of the intra-gang conflict that is happening in the 100 Rounds Gang operating in Green Island," Inspector Brown noted.
She has urged anyone with information on the incident to contact the police.
Radio Jamaica News was informed that Mr. Jones was the target of the attack and had been purchasing food from the jerk vendor when the shooting occurred.
