One of the two men killed in Swallowfield, along Old Hope Road in St Andrew, yesterday has now been identified.
The police say he is 40 year-old Clinton Jarrett, a welder of Cambridge district, St. Andrew. The other man is yet to be identified.
Investigators say a third man is in hospital receiving treatment.
The sleuths say the incident happened at about 5:05 p.m., as Jarrett and the other men stood on the roadway. They were pounced upon by gunmen travelling in a motor car who opened fire hitting them several times.
A video, believed to be of the incident, showed men with high power rifles exiting, what appears to be a Nissan AD wagon. After the shooting they return to the waiting vehicle, shooting at another man who seemed to have witnessed the incident, as they make their getaway.
