Man fatally shot downtown Kingston

KINGSTON, Jamaica – A man was fatally shot on Bond Street in downtown Kingston a short while ago.

Information surrounding the shooting is unclear at this time. 

This is the latest incident in a spate of shootings across the downtown area in recent weeks, which police theorise is related to gang warfare over turf. Just yesterday a five-year-old girl was among four people who were shot Tulip Lane in Denham Town.

 It is the second shooting to directly involve a child. Late last month two-year-old Demario Whyte was killed and his father and another man injured in a drive-by shooting at the corner of Luke Lane and Beeston Street.

More information later.
