Security will be increased in and around Kensington Oval from later this week for the country’s most expensive football tournament, the Lime/Pelican Football Challenge.
This comes after a shooting involving two men that occurred just outside the venue Sunday night.
Two 20-year-old youths were treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) for gunshot wounds received in the incident and discharged.
Germaine Harte, of St Matthias, Christ Church, was shot in the right side while Rico Reed, of Bonnetts, Brittons Hill, St Michael, was shot in arm. Both were taken by ambulance to the QEH just before midnight. (BA)
