A young man was shot dead at a Lime Kiln nightclub, the second fatal shooting in just over two days on the island. April now has three homicides after months without any killings.

Second deadly shooting in 48 hours at Lime Kiln nightclub

A young man was fatally shot at a nightclub in the Lime Kiln area in the early hours of Wednesday morning, thestkittsnevisobserver.com reports. Police confirmed the killing, making it the second deadly shooting in just over two days on the island.

Details of the latest incident remain limited. Authorities stated that investigations are ongoing as they work to establish the circumstances that led to the shooting.

The attack came less than 48 hours after the killing of Gerard Robert Stapleton of Ottley's Village, who police say was shot dead on the morning of April 18.

The two shootings bring April's homicide count to three — a sharp rise following several months in which no killings were recorded, prompting fresh concern among residents.

Police are urging anyone with information relevant to either investigation to come forward.
