Police have confirmed the arrest of three suspects in connection with the fatal shooting that occurred on King Street yesterday morning.

According to Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum, investigators have also located and detained the vehicle believed to have been used to transport the perpetrators to and from the crime scene. Blanhum declined to comment on the motive behind the shooting.

 

Initial investigations revealed that the victim, identified as “Shawn” and reportedly a sex worker, was standing with a male friend at around 2:00 AM when a heavily-tinted, silver-colored Premio motorcar approached from the south on Croal Street, and fired multiple shots at them.

 

Shawn and his companion ran east onto South Road, but Shawn collapsed shortly thereafter. The car continued north on King Street and fled the scene.

 

Authorities are continuing their investigation to uncover more details about the crime.
