12-y-o boy killed, mother injured during St Andrew shooting

A 12-year-old boy is now dead and his mother hospitalised after they, along with their brother, were ambushed by men on a motorcycle and shot at on Friday.

Detectives assigned to the St Andrew North Criminal Investigation Branch are now combing the area along Lindsay Crescent for clues.

The incident happened around 7:30.

Reports are that the woman was driving her Mercedes Benz motor car along the roadway with her two sons, an adult and now-deceased child, aboard.

The STAR understands the woman came to a stop at the Lindsay Crescent and Dunrobin Avenue stoplight when men driving a motorcycle opened fire on the vehicle.

The woman and her child received gunshot wounds.

The child died at hospital while his mother is being treated.
