A San Juan man, who man­aged to sur­vive two sep­a­rate shoot­ings in the last week was killed on the third at­tempt by mur­der­ers.

Mark Joel Ju­man, al­so called Markie, of San­ta Cruz Old Road, was shot around 8.50 pm on Sun­day, at Ramkissoon Trace, which is not far from where he lived.

Pre­vi­ous at­tempts were made to kill the 33-year-old on April 23 and 26, fol­low­ing al­leged claims that he was re­spon­si­ble for burn­ing down a house in the neigh­bour­hood that be­longed to a man whose alias is “Janks”.

It al­so was al­leged that Janks and a sec­ond man known as “Thus­ty” al­so shot at Ju­man on a sec­ond oc­ca­sion.

Nei­ther shoot­ing was re­port­ed to the po­lice, but fol­low­ing Ju­man’s mur­der on Sun­day, res­i­dents ad­mit­ted to the pre­vi­ous in­ci­dents.

Foren­sic ev­i­dence col­lect­ed at the scene of the mur­der in­clud­ed five spent 9-mil­lime­tre shell cas­ings and three de­formed pro­jec­tiles.
