‘I think he took his last breath’ : One man was killed and two injured after a shooting outside of bar

The man shot and killed on Monday night has not been officially identified but is known as ‘Valley’.

Initial police reports suggested he was 50 years old which has proven not to be the case. An official age still has not been released.

The man was at a bar on Soldier Road and Windsor Place Road when two gunmen emerged from behind a wall and shot three men. The gunshot proved fatal for ‘Valley.’

In a circulated video clip, he was seen lying face down as bystanders surrounded him. “He’s still breathing. He’s still breathing,” an eyewitness shouted, with a hand resting on the victim’s back. Minutes later the man said, “I think he took his last breath.”

Authorities soon responded to the homicide case and found the man’s body lying in the western area of the bar.

Police described the gunmen as “bold in their actions.”

Assistant Commissioner Zhivago Dames said, “They were standing in the yard here to the bar and two persons in dark clothing emerged from behind a wall and shot them while they were standing inside the bar yard.

“We want to also assure the residents of this area that the police is up and about. Despite this incident happening we are up and about doing our very best to keep this area safe.”

Dames believes the CCTV in the area will help capture the suspects.

Friends and family expressed shock at his death.

A friend, Darren Carey said he saw the victim at the same establishment on Sunday and they exchanged pleasantries, not knowing that would be the last time.

Jasmine Eyma expressed, “This one is a shocker.”

Another friend Alexandre remembered him as “a good coworker and a nice person.”

The other men who survived the shooting received gunshot injuries to their upper and lower bodies and are believed to be 35 years old.

Police could not say the motive for the shooting or whether or not the men were the intended target.
