Two brothers were among four men who were shot and killed at the popular Live Wire Sports Bar and Grill (formerly La Roose) on Port Henderson Road, St Catherine, last night.

Kirk Thomas and Ricardo Thomas, (owner of the club) also called 'Bully', both of an Olympic Gardens address in St Andrew, were murdered along with a third victim identified only as 'Mampy Zeeks'. The fourth man was still unidentified up to press time this morning.

According to the St Catherine South police, about 11:45 p.m., the four were at the entertainment complex when a group of armed men entered, brandished guns and opened fire hitting the men.

They died on the spot.

wanted by the police

Investigators say Ricardo was wanted by the police two years ago and was held with two illegal guns along with 49 rounds of ammunition at his home some time last year.

He pleaded guilty to the charges of illegal possession of firearm and ammunition when he was brought before the court but was lucky to end up with a two-year suspended sentence.

This is the third major violent incident at the Port Henderson venue in six years.

Eight persons were shot and injured, one fatally at the 2008 British Link-Up dance. There was also a police shooting in 2003.
