We are interested in speaking with a man dressed in black or dark clothing that was standing in the bus lay by opposite the scene of the shooting. This person was seen to dive behind the wall when the shooting took place.

Detectives are also interested in speaking to persons that may have seen a group of persons riding three motorcycles at speed, east on Port Royal stretch near the fire station at about 2:10pm on Friday 4th February 2011. One of these cycles was believed to be orange in colour.

Five persons have been arrested in connection with the enquiry so far, with three persons remaining in custody. They have been arrested for Conspiracy to Murder & Murder. No further details will be released at this time, as the enquiry team continues to gather evidence and speak with witnesses.
