Forty-three-year-old Orace Frankson, otherwise called 'Badda Don', was gunned down while walking along a road in Old Harbour, St Catherine last night.
The police are searching for his attacker.
Reports are that about 7:00 a.m., Frankson, a labourer of Smith Avenue in Old Harbour, was walking along East Street when a man wearing a dark-coloured hoodie approached him from behind and brandished a gun and fired several shots, hitting him, who fell.
His attacker went over him and fired additional shots into his body.
The gunman then ran and entered a Toyota Axio motor car, which sped away from the scene.
The police were informed and Frankson was observed on the roadway bleeding profusely.
He was assisted to the Spanish Town Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
No motive has been established in Frankson's murder.
The Old Harbour Criminal Investigation Branch is probing the matter.
