Two men were shot and killed and another critically injured in Gordon district, Whitehouse, Westmoreland, on Monday.
The deceased have been identified as 24-year-old Santino Brown, and 40-year-old businessman Carlington Walker, both from Gordon district.
Police reports indicate that Mr. Brown and Mr. Walker were standing along a roadway after offering support to a friend whose wife had recently died, when a grey Toyota Axio motor vehicle pulled up.
Two men alighted the vehicle and opened gunfire at the men who ran towards a nearby shop.
The gunmen gave chase and continued to fire.
Mr. Brown subsequently collapsed in front of the shop and the gunmen escaped in the vehicle.
When the police arrived, Mr. Brown was seen lying in a pool of blood with what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the head, neck and chest.
Mr. Walker received gunshot wounds to his chest.
A third man, who was a customer at the shop at the time of the incident, received gunshot wounds to his right leg and abdomen.
All three were transported to hospital where Mr. Brown and Mr. Walker were pronounced dead.
The other man was admitted in a serious condition.
A white Toyota Axio motor vehicle, parked nearby, was damaged during the incident.
