Minister of National Security and Peace, Dr. Horace Chang, says the security forces will relentlessly pursue those responsible for the Kidd Lane attack.
In a statement on Sunday, Dr. Chang described their actions as cowardly.
Dr. Chang notes that the attack comes amid escalating gang conflict in Kidd Lane and Bowens Road, Kingston 13, following police operations which have disrupted criminal networks in the communities.
He is urging residents to cooperate with the police and provide any information that could assist the investigations.
The minister also warned that individuals directing criminal activities from overseas should not believe they are beyond the reach of Jamaican law enforcement.
