POLICE are investigating the murder of a young forklift operator at Mount Royal Avenue early on Friday morning.

According to police, 20-year-old Theron Adderley, aka "Panda," was sitting on a wall in the area around 7am when two men in a white Honda pulled up. One man got out of the vehicle and shot him multiple times.

He was pronounced dead on the scene. He became the 11th person to be murdered in the Bahamas so far this year.

Superintendent Paul Rolle told The Tribune yesterday that police are still looking for the escaped prisoner Ormand Leon.

The convicted murderer's escape prompted police to arrest nearly 20 people between Wednesday and Thursday for "assisting and providing shelter" to him.

The 26-year-old escaped from a police transport vehicle on York Street, off East Bay Street, while en route to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services around noon on Tuesday.

Police describe Leon as armed and dangerous.
