Gunmen turned a quiet Saturday night into a scene of chaos when they opened fire on an 18-year-old construction worker sitting at a shop in Spanish Town, killing him and injuring another man.

Dead is Miguel Anderson, otherwise called "Bingy", of Quarry Hill, Spanish Town, St Catherine.

Reports are that about 8 p.m., Anderson was seated in a chair at a shop in the Henderson View community near Shelly Corner Shop when several men armed with firearms reportedly pounced on him.
