A 28-year-old man became the country’s 64th murder victim yesterday after he was shot during an argument outside a club on Nassau Street.
Videos showing a group of men fighting in an apparent parking lot circulated on social media. Just before shots rang out, the man recording said: “Mudda**** he dead aye. Nigga dead bey. Nigga killing him with he own gun.”
A second video shows two men carrying a seemingly injured man in an orange shirt as screams pierce the background.
Police said the murdered victim was one of three men shot during the incident.
The shooting reportedly unfolded at about 2.30am when a 23-year-old man got into a heated argument with the victim and another man, aged 42.
After the argument, the 23-year-old suspect left the establishment but returned with a firearm and shot both men, injuring them.
Police said the suspect was also injured during the incident and had gunshot wounds to his leg and upper body. He is now in hospital under police custody.
Meanwhile, the 42-year-old sustained injuries to his lower body and is being treated, while the 28-year-old man died in hospital after being shot multiple times.
Police said a firearm believed to be connected with the shooting was also recovered near the scene.
This latest shooting came a day after a man was stabbed under similar circumstances at a nightclub in the Fox Hill Road area.
According to police reports, the victim was arguing with another man when the fight escalated, resulting in him being stabbed.
He was taken to the hospital where his condition remains listed as serious.
Meanwhile, on Friday, police said they found a man’s decomposed body at an abandoned structure off Collin’s Avenue.
A postmortem examination will be performed to determine his exact cause of death, police said.
Investigations into these matters are continuing.
