The Old Harbour police in St Catherine are yet to establish a motive for the Christmas Eve killing of a man on Terminal Road in Old Harbour Bay. 

Dead is 37-year-old Rupert 'Emperor' Simpson, an unemployed man from the community. 

Residents reported hearing explosions about 6 p.m. on Saturday, and called the police. 

Simpson was found suffering from gunshot wounds near a Nissan Tiida motor car with its engine still running and headlights on. 

Simpson was pronounced dead at the Spanish Town Hospital.
