Police say they are investigating an incident in which shots were fired near the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Godfrey Nixon Way in the early morning hours on Wednesday.
Initial investigations suggest that the incident is not connected to Sunday’s shooting in West Bay that left seven injured, police said through a statement on Wednesday afternoon.
Police said no reports of injuries have been received following the early morning incident in George Town, which was reported shortly before 3:40am.
Several spent casings were located at the scene and recovered, as well as one live round of ammunition.
Police confirmed that no other firearm incidents have been reported in other areas of the Cayman Islands over the past 24-hour period, including the district of West Bay.
“Police continue to carry out heightened patrols throughout the Cayman Islands, with particular emphasis placed on targeted areas,” the RCIPS said in the statement.
Detectives are encouraging anyone with information regarding this incident to call the George Town Police Station at 949-4222. Anyone with information on the recent shooting incident can also provide anonymous tips directly to the RCIPS confidential tip line at 949-7777, or the police website.
