The police are yet to determine the motive behind last night's attack at China Harbour Engineering Company's compound in Plantation Heights, St Andrew, which left two security guards dead and a third missing.
The deceased security guards have been identified as Brandon Tristan Small, 22, of Horizon Park, St Catherine; and Lincoln Royal of Browns Hall, St Catherine.
Investigators say about 10:30 p.m. heavily armed men travelling in a grey motor car entered the compound through the front gate and held up the guard at the security post.
They then went further onto the compound, opening gunfire and hitting Small.
They later escaped in the motor car in which they arrived.
Small was taken to hospital by the police, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Royal's body was later found in the trunk of a Nissan motor car on the compound, with his hands and feet bound and his service firearm missing.
The missing security guard has still not been found.
