A 15-year-old boy was one of three peo­ple killed by masked gun­men dressed in clothes re­sem­bling po­lice uni­forms, ear­ly on Thurs­day morn­ing in Ari­ma.

The homi­cide vic­tims have been iden­ti­fied as 15-year-old Jor­dan Archibald, 19-year-old Ny­ron Samuel, and 16-year-old Dim­itri Archibald.

A fourth per­son—28 year old Mar­lon Cust—was al­so shot and wound­ed, and cur­rent­ly is ward­ed at hos­pi­tal.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, at 1:45 am, po­lice got in­for­ma­tion about a shoot­ing which had tak­en place at #1031 Mauler Street, off De­mer­ara Road, Ari­ma.

Of­fi­cers of the Ari­ma Po­lice Sta­tion, Pin­to Po­lice Sta­tion and ERP 51 re­spond­ed.

Up­on ar­rival at the scene, they saw four men ly­ing on the floor in the house lo­cat­ed there.

Po­lice were told that a white X-Trail pulled up at the home and oc­cu­pants dressed in po­lice uni­form, with masks over their faces, ex­it­ed the ve­hi­cle and opened fired at the vic­tims. They then drove off.

Po­lice of­fi­cers are on the look­out for the ve­hi­cle.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
