Police are investigating yet another killing.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

Dead is Ricardo Christmas originally from Dominica.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to reports, the 32-year-old man was shot twice in the head on Tanner Street Wednesday night.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

He died on the spot.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A motive for the attack is not yet known.<\/p>\n

This is the eighth murder since the start of the year and comes on the heels of a double killing in Gray\u2019s Farm earlier this week.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

EARLIER REPORT:<\/strong>\u00a0A man was shot dead on Tanner Street on Wednesday night as he played a game of dominoes.<\/p>\n

A lone assailant reportedly walked up to the domino table and opened fire shortly before 10 pm.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The man was shot three times and died on the spot while another domino player was also shot, but his injuries are not considered life-threatening.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The gunman then fled on foot in the area. Police are asking anyone with information on the killing to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or 462-3914.<\/p>\n

This takes the country\u2019s homicide count for the year to eight and comes hot on the heels of Monday\u2019s double murder in Grays Farm.<\/p>\n
