A 22-year-old bandit was shot dead yesterday afternoon, shortly after he and an accomplice had gun-butted and robbed a businessman at One Mile, Wismar.
Police said that Kevin Baston, of 161 First Alley, Wismar, was slain during a shootout with the businessman who he had robbed and police who arrived at the scene.
An unlicensed firearm, a wallet, the businessman’s cell phone and other items were recovered from the slain man and an accomplice, who was later captured in a house at Victory Valley, Wismar.
Police said that at around 14:00 hrs, Baston and his 24-year-old accomplice entered the business place of Hubert Campbell, 52.
They gun-butted Campbell and relieved him of his wallet, cash, cell phone and documents, before fleeing on foot.
According to police, Campbell, accompanied by a friend, trailed the robbers in a vehicle and eventually cornered them a short distance from the scene of the robbery.
A brief shootout ensued and the robbers fled in different directions.
Police arrived on the scene shortly and Baston was shot dead during an exchange of gunfire.
