According to Police Inspector Walter Evans, after 10pm police received a call about a shooting in the Sunset Park area.
Police had not yet determined a motive behind this latest homicide, but they confirmed that the victim was shot in the back several times.
Inspector Evans said the man, who is believed to have been in his mid-20s, was taken to hospital, but later succumbed to those injuries shortly before 6am Thursday morning.
His death pushed the country’s murder count to 16 for this year
Meantime, police said they were following some leads into the murder of Reeves Roberts, whose lifeless body was discovered lying between two buildings on Dorsett Alley with a gunshot wound to the face early Wednesday.
On Thursday, yet another shooting in another New Providence community left many residents shaken. This time, the shooting took place in broad daylight through Strachan’s Corner, just off East Street.
The shooting reportedly took place around 11am and apparently resulted from an altercation between two men whose names were not released.
The man who was shot in the ordeal was rushed to hospital and a hospital source said he had undergone treatment in the Accident and Emergency unit. His condition was unknown last night.
Residents of Strachan’s Corner said after the shooting, the shooter drove off in a white vehicle. Police soon discovered that vehicle parked in front of a plaza at 7th Terrace Centreville. The shooter reportedly ran off on foot.
