A 33-year-old Co­corite man was shot and killed while sit­ting in his car in the park­ing lot of Su­per­pharm in Diego Mar­tin on Sun­day af­ter­noon.

Po­lice said Nester Sam­my, alias ‘Pap­pi’, was in the dri­ver’s seat of his white Suzu­ki Grand Vi­tara at Su­per­pharm’s Sier­ra Leone Dri­ve branch at around 6.40 pm, when a white Hyundai Elantra pulled up near­by.

A gun­man got out the car and shot Sam­my sev­er­al times through the door. The gun­man then got back in the Elantra and drove off.

Of­fi­cers of the West­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force and the West End Po­lice Sta­tion were called in with a dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer, who de­clared Sam­my dead.

Po­lice found a re­volver and three live rounds of .38 am­mu­ni­tion at the scene.

Sam­my was charged with the mur­der of Shaquime Williams in 2019.

He was al­so ar­rest­ed when he was found with eight se­mi-au­to­mat­ic pis­tols and over 3,200 rounds of as­sort­ed am­mu­ni­tion at an apart­ment in the HDC’s Vic­to­ria Keyes Apart­ment Tow­er 2 in Diego Mar­tin on March 9.

Of­fi­cers of the Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions Re­gion I are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.
