There are still no leads into yesterday's shooting at Hendon, Norwood, in St. James, where two men were injured, one fatally, by gunmen.

The dead man has been identified as Garfield Cole, a 26-year-old shopkeeper of Hendon, Norwood.

The killing is the second such incident in two days for that community. On Tuesday night, gunmen shot and killed 46-year-old Marlene Chamberlyn at her home in Hendon, Norwood. She was the mother of reputed St. James gangster, Garfield 'Don' Sawyers, who was fatally shot by the police last April.

Reports are that, about 9:15 a.m., Cole was serving a customer in his shop when a man with a handgun entered. The gunman opened fire hitting the shopkeeper and the buyer. Cole died on the spot, while the injured man was taken to hospital.

Ms. Chamberlyn was gunned down about 10:15 p.m. as she arrived home with her one-year-old baby. She was reportedly attacked by three gunmen as she was about to enter her family home with the child. She received multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body. The baby escaped injury.
