Two men were killed and two oth­ers in­jured in sep­a­rate shoot­ings in San Juan and La Hor­quet­ta on Sun­day night.

In San Juan, po­lice said 18-year-old Aaron Hen­ry, of Thomas Street, was gunned down around 7.45 pm while play­ing cards in a yard off Con­cord Road. A 30-year-old man was al­so wound­ed in the at­tack.

Wit­ness­es told po­lice a dark-coloured Nis­san SUV drove in­to the dead-end street, turned around and stopped in front of Hen­ry’s yard. Gun­men then opened fire be­fore speed­ing off.

Hen­ry and the in­jured man were tak­en to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex, Mt Hope, where Hen­ry was pro­nounced dead. The oth­er vic­tim re­mains in se­ri­ous but sta­ble con­di­tion.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors found 5.56mm and 9mm shells at the scene, lead­ing to the be­lief that at least two shoot­ers were in­volved.

Po­lice sus­pect the killing may be linked to gang ac­tiv­i­ty.

Homi­cide of­fi­cers were al­so called to La Hor­quet­ta, where a 26-year-old man was shot dead and a woman wound­ed while sit­ting out­side a shop on Char­lie Davis Street, Phase 4, at 10.35 pm.

A white Nis­san Ti­i­da pulled up and gun­men opened fire on the vic­tims, who tried to run but col­lapsed near­by.

They were tak­en to the Ari­ma Hos­pi­tal, where the man was pro­nounced dead. The woman, 31, who was shot in both legs, was lat­er trans­ferred to Mount Hope and is in sta­ble con­di­tion.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
