Norman Manley High teacher one of two killed at tyre shop

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Two men were shot dead at a tyre repair shop along Spanish Town Road yesterday.

Dead are assistant pastor and teacher at Norman Manley High School, Kedo Guyah, and shop owner, Richard Williams.

Police are reporting that Guyah drove a white and silver Mitsubishi Pajero motor vehicle owned by his twin brother to the shop for repairs, and while there, a black Honda Stream motor car drove up.

Three men reportedly alighted from the Honda Stream and opened gunfire, hitting Guyah and Williams.

The men then got back into the vehicle and drove away.

Guyah died on the spot while Williams was transported by citizens to the Kingston Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigations are ongoing.
