According to the reports originally published by the Jamaica Star, the first incident occurred at approximately 9:30 p.m on Sunday when Davis and another man were attacked by gunmen. After both men were taken to the Hospital, Davis was later pronounced dead however, the other individual is currently still in admission in a “serious condition”.

After the two were taken to the hospital for treatment, Whyte was later pronounced dead after succumbing to her injuries while the man is still in admission.

The incidents according to reports the Jamaica Star received stemmed from flareups from an ongoing feud which the member of Parliament for South Central St. Catherine has said to have caused the community to become tense.
