Three men were fatally shot during a police operation in Orange district, St. James on Tuesday morning in search of suspects in the flare-up of violence in Rose Heights.
The names of the men have not been released.
The police say one of the men is linked to Friday night's murder of social media personality, 23-year-old Marvin Samuels, also known as "41 Busshead", of Rose Heights.
Assistant Commissioner Glenford Miller, Commanding Officer for the Area One Police, says the suspect is a key player in the violence in Rose Heights.
Following Friday's killing of the TikToker, a house was shot up and two other people shot in Rose Heights on Saturday morning.
The shootings have been linked to two gangs fighting for turf.
ACP Miller said during Tuesday morning's incident in the troubled community of Hell's Gate, Orange district, the police went to a premises to conduct searches when officers were met with gunfire. They returned fire, during which three men were fatally wounded.
Three firearms were seized during the operation.
ACP Miller has expressed frustration with the gang violence in the society which has led to many "senseless" killings.
He lamented that many of the violent incidents in the Rose Heights area are "friends killing friends" as people vie for "donship".
