Up to press time yesterday police were still trying to ascertain the identity of a man who was shot dead at ‘B’ Field Sophia early Saturday morning.
Reports are that the man who is of African descent was shot sometime around 02:00 hours on Saturday. This newspaper was told that persons in the area were awakened after dogs were heard barking.
Residents said that the man was seen trying to enter a house through a window. The homeowner was said to be hospitalised at the time. Residents immediately alerted the police since they were all aware that the homeowner was away.
The man was then confronted by police who had responded promptly.
“The same time the police pull up de man de coming back through a window and like he go to he waist and de police just shoot,” a resident said.
