A MAN on bail for attempted murder was shot multiple times and killed on Wednesday night as he was entering a restaurant on West Street.

This shooting took place shortly after 10pm and took the country’s murder count to 22 for the year, according to The Tribune’s records.

According to police reports, the victim had just pulled up in a vehicle in front of a restaurant and bar on Cambridge Lane and West Street, when two males armed with handguns approached and shot him multiple times before fleeing the area on foot.

He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Police have not officially identified the victim but The Tribune understands he is 29-year-old D’Andre Johnson also knows as ‘Plug’.

Johnson was released on bail in 2014 for attempted murder and was being electronically monitored.

Police are still investigating the shooting deaths of two men who were killed in separate incidents last week.

Police received information around 7am on Wednesday March 2 that shots were heard in the Fox Hill area. When officers responded, they found the body of a lifeless man.

POLICE have identified the victim as 50-year-old Troy Alexander Cash, of Dorsett Street.

Hours earlier, police said a man was walking off Fleming Street around 11pm on March 1 when the occupants of a heavily tinted, grey Nissan Altima pulled up and shot him before speeding off in an unknown direction. The victim was rushed to hospital, where he died of his injuries shortly after his arrival.

The Tribune understands he is 18-year-old Rashad Adam Bodie.

Anyone with information on these homicides is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.
