POLICE are asking for your help in locating the man responsible for the country’s latest murder.

It happened around 9.30pm Wednesday off Market Street.

Police say the victim was walking on John Road when he was approached by a man known to him and shot several times.

The suspect ran in unknown direction.

The victim was taken to hospital where he died of his injuries a short time later.

This latest homicide comes nearly two weeks after the government implemented a new crime fighting plan - which included putting officers on 12 hour-shifts and deploying 150 Defence Force marines to assistance police officers.

Last week, Minister of National Security Dr Bernard Nottage said he was encouraged by the initial results and the 12-hour shifts will continue “as long as it is needed and necessary”.

The country’s murder count now stands at 82.

Police are also asking for your assistance in locating the person responsible for a shooting incident that left a man in serious condition in hospital.

It happened around 9pm on Wednesday.

Police say the victim was a playing a game of dominoes outside a Woods Alley home, when a man approached him and shot him several times.

The victim was taken to hospital by a private vehicle, where he is listed in serious condition.

Investigations are ongoing.

Anyone with information on any of these matters are asked to call 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit on 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 328-TIPS.
