An 18-year-old gunman was apprehended Wednesday morning after he allegedly killed a man sitting on a front porch while visiting his family in Red Land Acres on Tuesday night.
The gunman, a resident of Kennedy Subdivision was attempting to run away after shooting Robert aka Wong, but was intercepted by officers of the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
Robert was 32 years old and died on the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.
Authorities are still looking for another man who helped the 18-year-old gunman. They ditched the getaway car, a black Suzuki Swift, in bushes near the scene of the crime and tried to escape before the young gunman was captured.
A cousin of Robert described him as “soft” and “innocent.”
“No Robby, no please tell me it’s a dream. [I’m] coming and hoping to see you when I come back in the hood to hail the family. How will I see my cousin’s soft and innocent smile again?” she lamented.
“He didn’t deserve this, not him. He had a head on his body not in the streets.”
A friend last saw him at the Christmas and New Year’s Day Junkanoo celebration.
