Two men are dead and three peo­ple wound­ed af­ter a shoot­ing in Tu­na­puna on Wednes­day night.

Po­lice said 23-year-old Mikael Her­nan­dez, al­so known as Mikael Voisin, Aaron Le­an­der and three oth­ers were lim­ing near the Tu­na­puna Mar­ket en­trance at 8 pm when a ve­hi­cle drove up from the Pri­or­i­ty Bus Route.

Three men got out of the ve­hi­cle and shot at the crowd.

Voisin died at the scene while Le­an­der and the three wound­ed peo­ple were tak­en to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex in Mt Hope.

Le­an­der was de­clared dead at hos­pi­tal.

Al­so wound­ed in the at­tack was a 22-year-old woman who was hit in her chest, left arm and leg. A 34-year-old man was al­so shot in his back and right thigh, while a third man was shot in his right leg.

Guardian Me­dia vis­it­ed the scene as Voisin's rel­a­tives stood near­by and watched as crime scene in­ves­ti­ga­tors col­lect­ed ev­i­dence.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia, Her­nan­dez's fa­ther Sean Mod­este said he knew his son as a ven­dor sell­ing fruits in the mar­ket, adding he was plan­ning to cel­e­brate the first birth­day of his in­fant daugh­ter at the end of Jan­u­ary. He said he did not know his son to be in­volved in any­thing il­le­gal.

An­oth­er rel­a­tive, who asked not to be named, said Her­nan­dez was known to be a "past af­fil­i­ate of shady char­ac­ters" when he lived on St John's Road, St Au­gus­tine, and be­lieves he was killed over those past as­so­ci­a­tions.

Of­fi­cers of the North-Cen­tral Di­vi­sion re­mained at the scene col­lect­ing ev­i­dence up to 9.45 pm.

Po­lice from the Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions Re­gion II are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.
