ONE MAN is dead and a teenaged boy is fighting for his life in hospital after they were shot multiple times late on Wednesday night in the Centreville area.

Police say the two victims were standing in front of a home through Burial Ground Corner shortly after 10pm when two men armed with a handgun and shotgun approached them and fired several shots before fleeing the area on foot.

The adult was pronounced dead on the scene while the 16-year-old teen was taken to hospital, where he is listed in serious but stable condition.

Police have not identified the victim but The Tribune understands he is Davano Dacosta.

This latest homicide takes the country's murder count to 48 for the year, according to the Tribune's records.

Anyone with information on this homicide is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.

Investigations continue.
