The police said the men, who were attacked and shot by gunmen in broad daylight on November 29, were killed because of an ongoing gang conflict for control of turf in the community.
The police are asking the two suspects to turn themselves in immediately.
It was reported that about 9:40 am, Thompson and Ferguson were standing along Upper Oxford Street when a Toyota Probox drove up along the roadway and stopped near where they stood.
Three men, the police said, alighted from the vehicle, pulled guns, and opened fire hitting Thompson and Ferguson, both of whom ran and collapsed a short distance away.
The gunmen went back into the vehicle, drove off and escaped. The injured men were taken to Kingston Public Hospital where they were pronounced dead upon arrival.
Police recovered more than 20 spent casings of 9mm cartridges at the murder scene.
