One man was killed while his step­son re­mained hos­pi­talised fol­low­ing a dri­ve-by shoot­ing in Mor­vant yes­ter­day.

Po­lice said Ke­ston Bald­win, 35, died me­tres away from the front door of his house at Ro­main Lands.

Rahim Greaves, 24, was hos­pi­talised in a crit­i­cal con­di­tion up to last night.

Res­i­dents re­port­ed to the po­lice that around 10.30 am yes­ter­day, Bald­win and a 37-year-old man had been get­ting ready to leave their area to go to Bel­mont Val­ley Road to pick av­o­ca­dos when a sil­ver Toy­ota Axio stopped and four men dressed in fe­male Mus­lim cloth­ing emerged.

The men then be­gan shoot­ing at the two.

Bald­win was stuck sev­er­al times and col­lapsed face down on the road. He died at the scene.

Greaves, who had been stand­ing on the road talk­ing to the two, was al­so shot sev­er­al times.

He was seen run­ning down the road bleed­ing from sev­er­al gun­shot wounds, beg­ging res­i­dents for help.

Greaves as lat­er as­sist­ed by a man who lives close by, who placed him in his pri­vate ve­hi­cle and took him to hos­pi­tal.

The 37-year-old man was not in­jured dur­ing the in­ci­dent.

When Guardian Me­dia vis­it­ed the area around noon, res­i­dents de­clined to speak about the in­ci­dent.

One man on­ly con­firmed, “Is re­al corn pass… it was like fire­works.”

Se­nior law en­force­ment of­fi­cials have said while they are ea­ger to solve these and oth­er killings, they are be­ing frus­trat­ed in their at­tempts to get in­for­ma­tion from wit­ness­es and on­look­ers who all of­fer the same re­frain—that they are scared to speak and do not wish to en­dan­ger them­selves and fam­i­lies by en­gag­ing with of­fi­cers.

An el­der­ly woman who stood peek­ing from be­hind her gate, said, “We liv­ing here and you don’t know who they will come back for. When alyuh gone, is we have to face them.”
