Man shot dead on jitney ride

A MAN was shot dead on a jitney last night – with the driver pulling up outside a police station with the dead man on board.

While details remain unclear, initial police reports said that shortly after 6pm, the driver of a route #1 public service bus pulled up to the Quakoo and Market Streets police station and alerted officers of an incident that occurred on the bus.

Officers discovered the man, whose identity was not known at the time of going to press, lifeless with a gunshot wound in his lower body.

Emergency Medical Services personnel pronounced him dead at the scene and the driver, who The Tribune understands is not being treated as a suspect, is assisting police in their investigations.

Anyone with information that might assist ongoing investigations can call police anonymously at 919 or Crime Stoppers at 328-TIPS in New Providence or 1-242-300-8476 in the Family Islands.
