The Kingston Central police are probing the shooting deaths of two men and the injury of another person in Rose Gardens, more popularly known as Spoilers, last night.

They have been identified by residents as 'Eddie' and 'Bull', who they say are relatives.

The Gleaner was informed that the shooting took place just before 8 p.m. along Wildman Street in the community.

The Kingston Central Police Division recorded a 17% reduction in murders last year. 

At the close of 2023, the Jamaica Constabulary Force said 40 people were killed in the division in violent attacks compared to 48 in 2022.
