According to the investigators, 49-year-old Peter Escoffery, otherwise called 'Stumpy' of MacIntyre Villa; Kenique Richards, otherwise called 'Runkus' of Lincoln Terrace; and an unidentified man, were shot by a carload of men armed with high-powered rifles.

Police said 39 rounds of assorted ammunition were also confiscated.
No one was arrested in connection with the find.
