The main perpetrator in last Friday’s shooting and arson attack in Kidd Lane in South St. Andrew is in police custody.

Commanding officer for the division, Senior Superintendent Damian Manderson, spoke with our news centre on Sunday.

Gunmen unleashed terror in the community, shooting three people dead before setting their house on fire.

Those killed have been identified as 30-year-old Lashane Ellis, her one-year-old son, Kaheel Daley and 39-year-old Kimeisha Gibson.

SSP Manderson says a long running gang feud may be behind the killings.

And the police have named 11 persons of interest in relation to the incident. They are being urged to immediately report to the Hunts Bay Police Station to assist investigators.

Meanwhile, SSP Manderson says efforts are ongoing to console residents. Those efforts involve grief counselling with church groups and personnel from the Ministry of Justice.
