The Kingston West Police are probing reports that a 14 year old boy carried out Wednesday’s deadly attack at Coronation Market.
A man and a woman, both vendors at the market, were killed in the attack.
Another man was injured.
A senior investigator told RJR News that eyewitnesses have reported that the teenager entered the market and began firing indiscriminately.

14? Jesus man! A bby dat a commit such a wicked act? I hope dem punish him to the fullest extent of the law. Do big man crime. Guh do some big man time.
He’s going to Juvenile Prison when they catch him and back on the streets at 18 to commit further murders. Eye for an eye would be an appropriate punishment in this case.
14 year old is no child in those communities, mi sorry for them more time. Most of the contract killings are done between ages 12-20 das the reality. People a breed n have kids n nuh have no interest in growing their kids with dicipline. Some young mothers neglect them children so area don and men from the area adopt them n mek them do killings, break in people houses etc. When a society stop discipline kids that are suppose to be disciplined, be prepared for more of these age groups commiting more murders. Some parents know dem kids rude n need to be disciplined n them so busy on social media n chatting people business dem allow the kids to grow them selves. It is so sad, but a nuff 14-16 doing contract killings now, at that age 1.them a try make a name for survival and 2. They want to aspire like the don man
