A spate of shootings in Westmoreland in recent days have seen four persons being shot, including a teen. Two of the four were killed.<\/p>\n

The deceased have been named as 25-year-old Kevon Lewis, a vendor of Hudson Street, Sav-la-Mar and a man known only by his alias \u2018Pringleman\u2018, a higgler of Morass Road.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pringleman\u2019 was gunned down by unknown assailants on Monday night in Petersfield Square.<\/p>\n

The police say about 11:30 p.m., residents heard explosions in the area and later found \u2018Pringleman\u2019s\u2019 body lying on the side of the road.<\/p>\n

The police were called and \u2018Pringleman\u2019s\u2019 body was seen on the step of a popular Harbadashery with two gunshot wounds, including one to the head.<\/p>\n

The body was clad in blue tam, blue plaid shirt and shorts and a pair of black slippers.<\/p>\n

Nine 9 MM spent shells were removed from the scene by the police.<\/p>\n

BECKFORD STREET KILLING<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the meantime, Lewis was gunned down along Beckford Street shortly after 1 a.m. on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s said that Lewis was standing beside his stall along Beckford Street when a lone gunman travelling on a motorcycle rode up in front of him and opened fire hitting him in the face, hand and chest.<\/p>\n

The gunman then fled the scene.<\/p>\n

And, two men were shot and wounded in the Amity Hall area of the parish on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

The victims were a 25-year-old security guard of Roaring River and an 18-year-old store clerk of Shrewsbury.<\/p>\n

The two were reportedly travelling along the Amity Hall main road in a motorcar driven by the security guard when on reaching an intersection, a man rode up next to the stopped vehicle and opened fire, hitting both the driver and the young store clerk.<\/p>\n

The security guard was shot to the right side of the neck while the teen received a shot to the chest area.<\/p>\n

The two were assisted to the hospital where they were treated.<\/p>\n
