An investigation has been launched into the murder of a man and the injury of another outside a Corporate Area nightclub on Saturday morning.

The deceased has been identified as Kashawn Young, 26 years old, of Hope Avenue, Land Settlement in Manchester.

He was shot and killed along Constant Spring Road in St Andrew.

It is reported that about 2:30 a.m., Young had just parked his vehicle outside the club when he was pounced upon by two armed men.

He was chased by his attackers who shot him repeatedly.

A 76-year-old man also sustained gunshot injuries to his hand.

A police team responded to reports of explosions heard and assisted the injured persons to the hospital, where Young was pronounced dead and the other man treated.
