A YOUNG man was shot multiple times and killed early yesterday morning as he sat in his car waiting for his girlfriend outside Jimmy’s Take Away off Carmichael Road.

The shooting happened around 1.30am and brought the country’s murder count for this year to 52, according to The Tribune’s records.

According to police, the victim was sitting in his car outside the takeaway restaurant waiting for his female friend, who was

closing the establishment, when a man with a handgun approached him and shot him multiple times before fleeing the area on foot.

The woman drove the victim to the parking lot of the Carmichael Road Police Station where he died shortly after his arrival.

Police have not identified the victim, but The Tribune understands he is Huey James, also known as “Slug”.
