The Hunts Bay police are probing a deadly mass shooting on Bowens Road off Waltham Park Road in St Andrew on Saturday night. 

Reports are that eight people were shot, three fatally, after gunmen fired at a crowd.

The deceased men have been identified as Kemar Hardware and a 19-year-old known as 'Brown Man'. 

The woman has not been identified.

The investigation is ongoing.

Meanwhile, Jamaica has been rocked in recent times by mass killings across the country.

The most recent occurred on National Heroes Day in Pleasant Heights, formerly Wareika Hills, when five men were shot and two others injured at a football match.
