Police are on the hunt for a single suspect in the Martin's area who shot 19 year old Maximilliano Jones in broad daylight yesterday at around noon.

It's indicative off another flare-up in the Martin's area and today the compol shared with us an update on their investigations in which he also hinted that another SOE might be on the rise.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Well we are dealing with that and I have said that we will spare nothing to make sure we go after those persons who continue to push violence in the city. I have given instructions yesterday that all those parties from back a land gang be detained. I believe many of them are in custody now and we will do what needs to be done. I think that in terms of the shooting yesterday and even the one on Sunday we know who the perpetrators are and some of them are in custody. We are trying to gather the evidence we need to charge them. We cannot and will not pamper or shield anybody who is adamant to carry out violence in the city we cannot do that. So they either under to ride with the program or if not they face the consequences and you will see that what we are doing does not work and they continue to push violence then we go to the next step which you all know what it is."
