Woman killed, 2 men injured in Edinburgh 500 shooting

A 32-year-old woman is dead and two men are injured following a shooting at a home on Victoria Drive West, Edinburgh 500, yesterday evening.

Police said the circumstances surrounding the attack remain under investigation and the motive has not yet been determined.

The deceased has been identified as Shanice Morris, a CSR at Progressive Credit Union.

Reports indicate Morris had been taking part in a night football league at the Edinburgh 500 Recreational Grounds when she received a call that her boyfriend had been shot.

She then went to his home, where she was later shot and killed.

Her boyfriend, a 34-year-old man, sustained gunshot injuries in the attack. Another injured victim is a 36-year-old Lance Corporal of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force.

All three victims were shot around 7.20 pm. Officers arrived at the scene at approximately 7.45 pm and found Morris lying on her back in a pool of blood. She was unresponsive. The two injured men were found on the porch.

Officers recovered 16 spent shell casings from the scene.

Investigators are also reviewing the possibility that Morris may not have been the intended target.

The incident comes one month after a 30-year-old soldier, Jaelani Garcia Williams, was killed on Le Clave Road, Edinburgh 500, after being shot multiple times. No arrests have been made in that case.
