On Tuesday, gunmen fired close to 20 shots at a man as he stood at the corner of Maxfield and Whitfield Avenue waiting on a taxi to go to work.

The incident occurred in the midst of operations being carried out by police and military personnel close by in sections of Maxfield Avenue, including Rousseau Road and Sunlight Street.
One man told the Jamaica Observer that he was picking ackees from a tree when the shots rang out, prompting him to jump from a branch to the ground.
