Police today repeated their call for witnesses to the Christmas shootings to come forward before the gunmen strike again.

Superintendent Randy Liverpool told a press conference this afternoon that whoever killed Aquil Richardson — and whoever left Jakai Harford and Levar Smith with gunshot wounds — may feel at ease in the community because they have not been caught.

“Those people who have perpetrated these types of crimes are still in the community and, if they have a level of ease that they are not being brought to justice, then they are likely to commit further offences,” said Supt. Liverpool.

“That’s one of our concerns. That’s why it’s so important members of the community come forward and bring information to the Police — to bring these perpetrators to justice.”

Mr. Richardson, 30, was shot dead at about 9 p.m. on Boxing Day in Camp Hill, Southampton. In the same incident, 25-year-old Mr. Smith was shot in the legs.

In the early hours of Christmas Day, Mr. Harford, 24, was shot in the shoulder, also in Camp Hill.

Mr. Smith and Mr. Harford were treated for their injuries at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. The shootings are widely believed to be gang-related.
