Three men were shot and killed in Providence Heights, St James on Monday night.
The police have not yet released the men's identities but indicated that they are believed to be from Kingston.
It is reported that some time after 9 p.m., the three men travelled to the Providence community in a Nissan AD Wagon motor car, which is used to operate as a taxi within the Half-Way-Tree area in St Andrew.
It is further reported that, on reaching the community, the three unidentified men met with another group of men who were travelling in another motor car and several minutes later residents heard gunshots coming from the direction of the parked vehicle.
Residents summoned the police and upon arrival, the three unidentified men were discovered suffering from gunshot wounds inside the vehicle.
The scene was processed and the men were transported to the Cornwall Regional Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
