Crime scene investigators were kept busy over the last 24 hours processing scenes in four police divisions which left six people dead.
Four of the deceased are women.
The incidents, all of which were double shootings, occurred in Manchester, St. Andrew South, Kingston Western and St. Catherine North.
Among those killed are Sophia Drummond and her daughter Dominque Duhaney who were attacked at the entrance to the National Solid Waste Management Authority's facility on Spanish Town Road.
Both were food vendors of Manley Meadows, Kingston.
The bodies of the women, with bullet wounds, were found sometime after 5 o'clock.
Senior Superintendent Kirk Ricketts, head of the St. Andrew South Police, said the mother and daughter were often found outside the NSWMA facility where they sold hot beverages and breakfast to truckers.
He said a motive has not been established for their killing but "detectives are working assidiously to get to the bottom of this".
