Two separate shootings in the capital early on Sunday have left one man dead and two others injured.

The first shooting occurred around 1am during a party in the Bozine Town area, off Tonique Williams-Darling Highway.

According to initial reports, two men were attending the gathering when gunshots were fired in their direction.

Both men attempted to flee. A 20-year-old victim was struck multiple times. He managed to run into a nearby residence, where he collapsed and succumbed to his injuries.

A second victim, aged 30, sustained a gunshot wound to his leg. He sought medical attention and is currently in stable condition at the hospital.

Shortly after the first incident, around 2am, a second shooting took place on Soldier Road, east of Old Trail Road.

A 31-year-old motorist was injured after a red Japanese vehicle allegedly overtook his car and opened fire.

The victim was struck in the left arm but managed to drive himself to the hospital, where he is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding these shootings to come forward. They have asked the public to contact them at 919/911, the Criminal Investigation Department at 502-9991/2/3, or Crime Stoppers at 328-TIPS.

Police have not yet identified any suspects in connection with either shooting but continue to investigate both incidents. The public is reminded to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.
