Two shot dead, others injured
A man was killed during a triple shooting late Saturday night in a neighborhood off East Street and another man was shot dead in Yellow Elder Gardens early yesterday morning, police reported.
Two armed men shot two men and a woman after they pulled up at a home on Pearson Way, off East Street, according to police, who said one of the men was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police identified the victim as Carlos “Skuller” Colebrooke.
He was once listed as a suspect in the December 27, 2013 Fox Hill shooting that left four people dead. However, he was never charged with the crime.
The other victims from the Saturday night shooting were taken to hospital where they were listed in serious condition up to last night.
The gunmen reportedly fled on foot.
Police said another man was shot dead around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday as he sat in his car in front of a home on East Storr Court, Yellow Elder Gardens.
According to Superintendent Paul Rolle, the victim was shot multiple times with a shotgun.
When The Nassau Guardian arrived on the scene he was still slumped in his vehicle.
Rolle said it appears the victim was trying to get away from the shooter.
According to reports, the shooter fled on foot.
However, Rolle said eyewitnesses reported that they saw a vehicle speeding away from the scene.
Rolle said the victim appeared to be in his mid-20s.
Police said they had limited information on both shootings and appealed to people with information on these matters to contact them.
The killings brought the murder count to 21 for the year, according to The Nassau Guardian’s records.
Police reported two other shootings over the weekend.
Police said a man was shot in a drive-by shooting in front of his Mahogany Street home in Pinewood Gardens around 1 p.m. Saturday.
Police said the man was washing his car when a gunman approached in a red vehicle and shot him.
The victim was shot in the chest, police said. He was listed in critical condition yesterday.
Another man was shot sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning, police said.
Around 1 a.m. police received a report that a man was brought to hospital in a private vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound to his left side.
Preliminary information indicates that the victim was in the St. James area when he was attacked.
He was in serious condition, police said.
