No motive for shooting death of two construction workers in Hanover

HANOVER, Jamaica— The police are yet to establish a motive for a gun attack in Green Island, Hanover Tuesday night which left two men dead and three others injured.

The deceased men have been identified as 27-year-old Ayon Richards and 27-year-old O’Neill Spencer. Both men are labourers from Mavis Bank in St Andrew.

Both men were employed at the construction site of a large hotel being constructed in the Green Island area.

Reports are that about 8:00 pm, the men were at an eatery when a gunman walked up and opened fire.

The condition of the three others who were shot in the incident are not considered serious.

The shooting took place approximately 400 feet from where a peace march was held hours before.
