The deceased has been identified as 63-year-old Paul Thompson, otherwise called “Pablo”, of a Richards Avenue, Kingston 6 address.

It is understood that Thompson and the other businessman were arguing over a boatyard they shared about 3:30pm, when Thompson allegedly pulled a gun and shot the other man twice, once to the chest and once to the right hand, before opening fire on the man’s Rottweiler pet.

The injured man was rushed to hospital where he was admitted in serious condition.

The police reportedly responded to the scene and, while they processed the location, were allegedly fired upon by Thompson. The cops reportedly returned fire, hitting Thompson. He was taken to the Kingston Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigations are ongoing.
