The men were killed about 3:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon, after they were intercepted by police personnel who were acting on information that there were two of four persons travelling in a car from Kitson Town where they had killed 28-year-old shopkeeper Denzel Harrow.
The Spanish Town police said that when the men were signalled to stop, occupants fired from the car. The police pursued them, and on reaching the vicinity of Old Harbour Road and Featherbed Lane, Francis alighted from the car and started firing. He was shot and killed.
The car sped off with the other occupants and was chased into Sydenham Villa where a shoot-out ensued and Nicholson was killed. The two other men escaped on foot. Nicholson was found clutching a gun.
