INVESTIGATORS are appealing to members of the public to come forward with information that can assist in solving a homicide that occurred yesterday in the area of Wulff and Pinedale Roads.

According to police, a young man was walking along Wulff Road when another man shot him after a brief exchange of words.

It happened at around 6pm, police said, and marks the 49th homicide for the year, according to The Tribune’s records.

Chief Superintendent in charge of the Central Detective Unit (CDU) Paul Rolle said the incident lasted for about ten seconds, leaving investigators with little information.

He said: “This chap, he was walking west along Wulff Road, he was accosted by another male. We initially said they were walking but now it seems like they got into a short exchange of words when the other male produced a handgun and shot him and then he took off onto Pinedale Road.

“The incident lasted about ten seconds. It was very short.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact their nearest police station.

lets us continue to pray for peace and love upon our Bahamaland, this is still and will always be a place of love, care and peace. The Bahamas is a very blessed nation covered by the blessing of the Father. peace can still be restore and when it does please let not the Government issue anymore statement on crime just save the comments to themselves next time please. everytime the government issues a statement of crime it brings bad upon our nation.

So we have young males walking around the streets of New Providence packing handguns??? What has this island come to? This illegal arms problem needs a robust and radical response from Government. It has needed such a response for many years now but successive administrations have been clueless. B.J. Nottage is completely unqualified to be Minister of National Security - the country is making no progress whatsoever in the war against these armed thugs. It is high time that the politicians started to treat this as a "war" and a "war" that must be won. GET THESE GUNS OFF OF OUR STREETS BY WHATEVER MEANS!
