Gunmen shot and killed a 34-year-old man in Mount Salem, St James this morning, just 48 hours after a curfew ended.
Mount Salem remains under a zone of special operations, which brings increased police and military presence and social service providers.
This morning's shooting occurred at approximately 9 a.m.
The deceased, Sanjay Rankine, from a Crawford Street address was reportedly transporting sand in a wheelbarrow near his home when he was shot.
He was employed to a popular restaurant and entertainment centre in Montego Bay.
At least three residents have been shot over the last three weeks, forcing the police to restrict movements in the community.
