A 24-year-old man was also killed in the area, however, it is not yet known if both incidents were connected.
According to a police report, around 11.40 pm Akiel Andrews of Waterhole Road, Cocorite was shot dead while behind the steering wheel of a car—a white B13—at Harding Place.
Police said Andrews was shot multiple times and died on the scene.
A few hours later, around 4.45 am on Monday a loud explosion was heard at LP No 7B Harding Place.
Residents saw a house engulfed in flames.
