The police are reporting that gang conflict is believed to be the motive behind the murder of a man in Spring Park district in St Elizabeth on Saturday.
Killed was 30-year-old Chadwick White, a labourer of the same community.
According to Superintendent Dwight Daley, head of the St Elizabeth Division, the incident occurred about 9:15 am.
