A violent shooting incident on Friday afternoon in Malick has left two people dead and three more hospitalized with gunshot wounds, sending shockwaves through the local residential neighborhood. According to witness accounts, residents along Seventh Avenue began hearing repeated blasts, similar to the sound of explosions, just after 1:00 p.m. Alarmed by the noise, local residents rushed to investigate and made a grim discovery: five men lying motionless on the ground outside a pink residential property positioned along the street.
Every person found at the scene had sustained at least one gunshot injury, with two of the men hit multiple times at close range. Emergency services were immediately contacted by bystanders, who waited with the victims for first responders to arrive. Within minutes, local law enforcement officers and emergency medical teams were dispatched to the Seventh Avenue location, and all five injured men were quickly transported to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex for urgent care. Despite the best efforts of medical staff, two of the victims did not survive their injuries, and they were pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.
As of the latest updates, police have not made any immediate public disclosures of the identities of the two deceased men, to allow time for next of kin to be notified. Investigative teams from the Northern Division alongside specialist homicide investigators have already processed the crime scene and opened a full formal investigation into the attack. At this early stage of the probe, detectives have not confirmed any clear motive for the mass shooting, and they are appealing to any members of the public who were in the area at the time of the incident to come forward with any information that could help advance the inquiry.
