The Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) has launched a probe into the fatal shooting of an unidentified man in St Catherine on Monday.
The deceased is yet to be identified.
It has been reported that about 4:45 p.m., the police were on patrol along the Gregory Park main road in St Catherine when the driver of a Toyota Axio motor car was signalled to stop.
The driver reportedly disobeyed and sped off and the police drove behind the vehicle, which crashed into a wall.
Occupants of the vehicle reportedly alighted and started firing at the police party, which returned the fire.
The police say when the shooting subsided a man was found on the passenger seat clutching a firearm and suffering from what appeared to be gunshot injuries.
The police say the firearm was a nine-millimetre pistol affixed with a magazine containing one round of ammunition.
The man was taken to the Spanish Town Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
