The Jamaica Defence Force soldier who was killed in an attack along Molynes Road in St Andrew early this morning has been identified.
He is 26-year-old Private Fernado Dixon.
The identities of his attackers, who were travelling on a motorcycle, are yet to be released by the police.
The police say both men were clad in black attire.
The police report that two men travelling on a black Honda bike, without a plate, rode up on Dixon who was travelling in an Audi motor vehicle along with four occupants and opened gunfire.
The police were called to the scene where two firearms – a radical 5.56 M16 rifle with a magazine and Taurus pistol - were recovered.
