An uniden­ti­fied man was killed on Mon­day night, just a stone's throw away from the Four Roads Po­lice Sta­tion in Diego Mar­tin.

Ac­cord­ing to pre­lim­i­nary re­ports, oc­cu­pants of a white Toy­ota wag­on opened fire on the man as they drove past him on Cuth­bert Road at 9 pm.

The dri­ver of the ve­hi­cle then sped off. The vic­tim died on the scene.

Homi­cide po­lice of­fi­cers were pro­cess­ing the scene as they con­tin­ued with their in­ves­ti­ga­tions up to late last night.

The killing took the toll for the year to 13. - RHON­DOR DOWLAT
