Terror struck what once was a quiet neighborhood in a small community in Liner Parish, Trelawny on Wednesday afternoon.

A young man known as ‘Dangles’ of a Lorrimers address in the parish was shot and killed by a lone gunman who approached him and posed as a friend.

The gunman greeted the now-deceased and shook his hand before pulling a firearm and shooting the victim multiple times in the head.

The gunman then escaped the scene on foot.

The incident took place at a corner shop in Liner Parish at around 5:20pm.

Residents heard the explosions and went to investigate and saw a man suffering from what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

The police were summoned and the body was removed from the scene
