Josiah John, 21, Kadeem Andrews, 22, and General Pong, 28, were all fatally shot shortly before
00:12
11.30 last night on Long Belmont Circular Road.
00:16
Police reported that residents of the area heard gunfire, followed by a crashing sound.
00:22
On investigating, they observed that a white Mazda 323 had crashed into a wall opposite

Willis Street.
00:28
Three people were in the car.
00:30
They all appear to have been shot multiple times.
00:34
The police and paramedics were notified and a team of officers led by Inspector Yearwood
00:38
and Sergeant Young responded.
00:40
Pong, who was the driver, was unresponsive at the time.
00:44
He died on the scene.

a shooting in Matura.
01:09
A 49-year-old man told police that at about 1pm on Tuesday, he was driving his vehicle
01:14
along Sucu Trace when upon reaching the vicinity of the two-mile mark, he observed a white
01:19
three-ton truck approaching.
01:21
The victim gesticulated to the driver of the bigger vehicle to reverse as the road

and shot at the 49-year-old.
