Three alleged gunmen killed in confrontation with cops in St Ann

Three men are dead and two illegal firearms seized after an alleged confrontation with police in Back Street, St Ann on Wednesday.

Among the deceased is 38-year-old Dickie Bonnick of Runaway Bay, St Ann.

Reports are that about 8:50 p.m. the lawmen, acting on information, intercepted a Probox motor car occupied by Bonnick and three other men.

A confrontation ensued between the occupants of the vehicle and the lawmen.

When the shooting subsided, Bonnick and two other men were seen with gunshot wounds.

They were taken to hospital where they were pronounced dead.

A fourth man, who was also in the vehicle escaped and is currently being sought by the police.

An AK47 assault rifle and a 9-millimetre pistol were seized during the incident.

Bonnick was reportedly on condition of bail, granted by the court, in relation to the October 2020 murder of 38-year-old Patrick Spence.

He was jointly charged with Everett Duncan for Spence's murder.

Duncan, who confessed to the murder and also implicated Bonnick, was subsequently killed.
