The police are seeking a motive in the murder of Alliance Investment manager, Arnie Francis.

Francis, 50, was shot and killed by unknown assailants at his home on Buttercup Drive, Kingston 6, on Thursday night.

Reports from the Matilda's Corner police are that at about 9:25 p.m., Francis was entering his premises when he and a female companion were pounced upon by a lone gunman who opened fire at them before making his escape.

Residents reportedly heard the explosions and summoned the police.

On their arrival, Francis was seen with gunshot wounds to the upper body and the female companion was seen with a gunshot wound to the leg.

They were both taken to the hospital where Francis later succumbed to his injuries, while the female was admitted in stable condition.
