A Cou­va man was killed af­ter he and an­oth­er man were am­bushed while at a makeshift camp used to cure mar­i­jua­na.

The de­ceased has been iden­ti­fied as Stephan Ram­lal.

Po­lice re­port­ed that around 6:15 am to­day, of­fi­cers re­spond­ed to a re­port of a shoot­ing and went to School Street, Es­per­an­za Vil­lage, Cal­i­for­nia.

There they found Stephan’s body.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, a 22-year-old man re­port­ed that around 10:32 pm the night be­fore, he and Ram­lal were at the makeshift camp when they heard gun­shots.

Stephan Ram­plal re­port­ed­ly was shot four times and col­lapsed, while the 22-year-old was shot in the leg.

Both men then hid in some bush­es.

The sur­vivor said he lat­er found Ram­lal dead.

He said he took Stephan’s mo­bile phone and called po­lice.

The in­jured man was tak­en to the Cou­va Dis­trict Health Fa­cil­i­ty for treat­ment.
