Police are now on the scene of a murder in San Fernando where a man was believed to have been shot dead in his car.
Residents say around 1.30 pm they heard gunshots in the area and looked out and saw a green Nissan Almera in the middle of the road at the corner of Vistabella Road and Hubert Rance Street. Inside the car was the body of an unidentified man who was seated in the front passenger's seat. He was slumped over the centre console. The rear passenger door had holes which appeared to have been caused by bullets.
Residents believe the driver of the car went into the dead-end street and while driving out a gunman, who was positioned in the bushes on a hill, opened fire on the car. The car then hit an embankment and flipped into the road. It is believed that the driver ran off.
Enquiries are continuing.
