The hunt is now on for a man who shot and killed a po­lice of­fi­cer's son at his Princes Town home last night.

Damion Black­well, 21, was an or­der­ly em­ployed with the South West Re­gion­al Health Au­thor­i­ty.

Re­ports say at around 9 PM he was wash­ing his car, a bur­gundy Almera, out­side his Sixth Com­pa­ny, Cir­cu­lar Road, home when he sud­den­ly ran in­side his house.

Po­lice say he was be­ing chased by a man wear­ing a white jer­sey and an or­ange re­flec­tor vest.

The sus­pect fired sev­er­al shots at Black­well and then ran off.

He was lat­er pro­nounced dead.

Black­well's moth­er is a po­lice of­fi­cer at­tached to the Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions Re­gion 3.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors are still gath­er­ing in­for­ma­tion and have not yet as­cer­tained a mo­tive.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
