WATCH: Man shot dead at Gutters – one of three gun attacks in St Elizabeth on Saturday

ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — A man was shot dead near a gas station at Gutters close to the Manchester/ St Elizabeth border on Saturday.

His identity has not yet been ascertained.

Preliminary reports are that about 4:45 pm, the man was seated in a white Toyota Axio parked near the gas station when a vehicle pulled up along side it and a gunman alighted, opening fire on the man in the driver’s seat.

Eyewitnesses say the gunman’s firearm fell from him during the attack before he retrieved it and continued the rampage.

It was the third reported shooting in St Elizabeth on Saturday.

Earlier in the day, a man was shot dead at Pepper district while another man was shot and injured in Thornton district.
