A Long­denville man has been killed while two peo­ple have been hos­pi­talised af­ter a shoot­ing in the area on Sat­ur­day.

Jer­main Hen­ry, 35, of Pen­co Street, Long­denville, was a short dis­tance away from his home with a group of friends at Chat­ter­goon Su­per­mar­ket, when their gath­er­ing end­ed vi­o­lent­ly at around 11.40 pm.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, a black Nis­san Note pulled along­side the group and four men, all armed with guns, emerged from the car and opened fire.

Hen­ry and two women—Cat­ri­na Jor­don, 19, of Long­denville and Moni­fa Rich­man, of Laven­tille, were shot dur­ing the at­tack.

The gun­men re­turned to the car and fled while the wound­ed trio lay on the road­way.

An am­bu­lance was called and all three were tak­en to the Ch­agua­nas Dis­trict Health Fa­cil­i­ty.

How­ev­er, Hen­ry died while be­ing treat­ed short­ly af­ter mid­night.

His death took the mur­der toll for the year so far to 48.
