The shootings took place between Thursday night and early Friday morning.

They have been identified as 46 year old watchman Herman Williams otherwise called "Sticky" of Havana Heights, Darien Williams,17, otherwise called "Darzo" of York Town and Shervon Heath,20, also of a York Town address.

In the first incident which occurred shortly after 9 o'clock Thursday night, the older Williams was playing dominoes with friends.

They were approached by a lone gunman who shot him in the face.

The other incident occurred Friday morning, when Darien Williams was at home with two other persons when they were reportedly awakened by gunshots.

They opened fire on the occupants of the house and threw molotov cocktail bombs inside.

One man managed to escape unhurt, while the other suffered burns to his back.

On a search of the house, Darien was found with gunshot wounds and burns to his body.

An hour later, residents in another section of the community heard explosions and called the police.

Upon their arrival, the bullet riddled body of Mr. Heath was found at the entrance to a Lane.
