Man on bail shot to death
Two men were shot dead in separate incidents between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, according to police, who said one of the victims was wearing an ankle bracelet.
It is believed that the latest murder took place around midnight on Thursday on Odle Corner, off East Street, police said.
However, the victim’s body was not discovered until around 6 a.m. when a woman walked outside her house to dispose of trash.
"She observed what appeared to be the body of a male,” Superintendent Paul Rolle said on the scene. “She in turn made contact with the ambulance and the police."
Rolle said the victim was shot once in the head.
He said residents contacted police around 12 a.m. and
reported hearing gunshots between Odle Corner and Gibbs Corner.
"We believe that would have been around the time when this incident happened," he said.
Rolle said the victim lived in the area and was being electronically monitored.
He could not say what crime the man was accused of committing.
Rolle noted the man was killed about 100 feet from where another man was shot to death on Tuesday.
He said police were investigating whether the two murders are connected.
On Tuesday, Kenthley Milfort, 24, was shot multiple times during a dominoes game on Odle Corner, police said.
Milfort was acquitted of a 2011 murder of Andrich Charles two weeks ago and released from Her Majesty’s Prisons (HMP).
Police are also investigating the murder that took place around 11:20 p.m. on Wednesday on Pratts Lane, off Rupert Dean Lane.
Police said the victim, who has been identified as Sean Lightfoot, 21, was shot twice in the head as he exited a vehicle.
Lightfoot was found lying next to the vehicle with the keys in one hand and cash in the other hand.
Police said the gunman fled on foot.
The murders pushed the count up to 54 for the year.
Police are appealing to people who have information of either murder to come forward.
