The brothers were hanging out with a couple friends near the Conch Shell Bay Fish Market. Clinton was hit to the back and died while his brother Michael was shot in the leg. We spoke to a relative today off camera and she told us she doesn't know why her brothers were targeted. Police also gave us a briefing this morning on the shooting.

Voice of: Relative
"Well I hear my 2 brothers got shot and one died, when I was at home, I heard that and my brother Clinton, he liked to give jokes and stuff he wasn't a bad person, he doesn't deal with gun or weed he just relax and chill and give jokes , he would just say Sister Persh. You're alright? And I would say "hey, not today" and then he would laugh and talk and thing, he don't deal with gun or nothing so I don't know why they killed him."

ASP Fitzroy Yearwood, Police Press Officer
"Sometime around 9:00 last night, a group of men were socializing in the conch shell bay area when a gunman exited a vehicle and fired several shots at them fatally hitting Clinton Frazer in the back 44 year old and his younger brother Michael Frazer 33 years. Michael was hit in the leg, he has since been treated and is now in a stable condition at the KHMH unfortunately Clinton succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at the KHMH."

Reporter
"Is it suspected that this would have been a retaliation for a previous murder specifically the one for the minor 15 years old?"

ASP Fitzroy Yearwood, Police Press Officer
"Marisol, first of all we are trying to establish the motive for this murder, as these guys are known to always be in that area socializing when not gainfully employed so in order for us to establish whether or not this was retaliation, we are definitely looking into that angle also but we need to establish a motive and then we can see how the investigation will take its course."

Reporter
"Sir do you believe Clinton was the intended target, because what we believe, he is 44, he is a family man."

ASP Fitzroy Yearwood, Police Press Officer
"Well we are not certain if he was the intended target, we have detained 2 persons of interest so far, and they are being interviewed and we are hoping that the investigators can get something out of them that can bring some sense to this senseless murder."

"From our investigators they believe a van was parked not too far from where this took place where they may have sued to flee the scene."

Now in the police interview you heard Police press officer Fitzroy Yearwood say that a gunman came out of the vehicle and shot at the men but he corrected it this evening saying that it was 2 men on separate bicycles.

The Frazer brothers were well known in that area. Police are following leads in this case. We note that Colin Sutherland who is also from Conch Shell Bay was killed in that same area on New Year's Day.
