Two men were gunned down hours apart in Diego Mar­tin on Fri­day.

In the lat­est in­ci­dent, 38-year-old Ker­ron Paul Wal­dron and Levi Gabriel, alias Max, went to pur­chase a burg­er at the cor­ner of Mer­cer Street out­side GIGS Sports Bar and Lounge around 10:30 pm.

Up­on col­lect­ing the burg­er, Wal­dron and Gabriel stood up talk­ing when a white wag­on pro­ceed­ing east along Mer­cer Street pulled up and two men in hood­ies dressed in black fired sev­er­al shots at the men. The sus­pects es­caped in the ve­hi­cle east along Jasper Av­enue.

Wal­dron and Gabriel were tak­en to St James Med­ical Com­plex, where Wal­dron suc­cumbed to his in­juries and Gabriel re­mained hos­pi­talised nurs­ing gun­shot wounds up to late yes­ter­day. 

A few hours ear­li­er, 22-year-old Josi­ah Cooke, of Kel­ly Street, Diego Mar­tin, left home to pur­chase an item at a shop a short dis­tance away, around 6:29 pm. How­ev­er, a short while lat­er, sev­er­al ex­plo­sions were heard. Cooke’s body was lat­er dis­cov­ered by his twin broth­er, and he was rushed to the St James Med­ical Com­plex, where he was pro­nounced dead on ar­rival. 

Ear­li­er the said Fri­day morn­ing, Sher­win Carter was gunned down at his Blue Basin Road, Diego Mar­tin home.
