Just two days after gunmen killed two brothers in Central Village, two more brothers were murdered on Ricketts Street in Kingston 13, yesterday morning.
Dead are Nakia Wright, 26, and his older brother Steve Wright, 28, who both hail from a Ricketts Street address. Two men, aged 26 and 33, were also shot and injured in the incident.
Reports are about 7:30 a.m., the four men were standing along Rickettes Street when they were ambushed by five armed men. The men immediately opened fire on the men. The police were summoned, and the injured men taken to hospital.
The younger brother, who received the most injuries, was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital, while the elder bother succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.
Police are now seeking two men, whom they believe can assist in their investigations. They have been identified as Gary Morris, otherwise called 'Stitchie,' and another man known only as 'Duxie.'
On Friday, two brothers were killed and their homes razed in Central Village. They were identified as Orlando 'Lando' Long, 24. and Dane 'Punta' Lewis.'
Reports are that about 2:40 a.m., residents heard explosions and saw fire coming from a section of the brothers' home. The police were summoned and the body of Long was found outside, while Lewis' body was found inside the burnt-out building. Several Molotov cocktail bombs were found at the scene.
