Jamaican police are appealing for calm in a troubled section of the capital after gunmen shot a dozen people, killing a 12-year-old boy and a man.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force is blaming an upsurge of violence in West Kingston's Denham Town on a new crop of gangsters fighting for control of the gang-steeped area.
The late Friday shooting killed 12-year-old Kawayne McAnuff, a man and wounded 10 other people. It's being blamed on a gang called New Generation.
