Four men died on Wednesday morning in what early accounts describe as an encounter involving security personnel close to Montego Bay's Retirement landfill.
Initial information places the incident beside a quarry at St Johns in St James, only a short distance from the dump. The men had not been identified up to the time of the report.
The Independent Commission of Investigations has sent investigators to examine what took place, with further details expected.
