21-year-old shot dead in Freeport murder

POLICE in Grand Bahama are investigating a shooting incident that has left a 21-year-old Freeport man dead.

According to initial police reports, shortly after 10pm on Saturday, May 28, a man was sitting in a vehicle on Frobisher Circle when he was shot multiple times about the body by unknown persons.

The victim was taken to hospital by emergency medical services personnel where he later died, police said.

His death marked the 51st homicide for the year, according to The Tribune’s records.

The killing came three days after a ZNS radio announcer was found dead in an area off Cowpen Road.

Scott Richards, 48, was found near Bonefish Pond by police on Thursday morning with multiple gunshot wounds. He had completed his late shift at the state broadcasting agency around 6am on Thursday, ZNS officials said.

A female suspect has since turned herself into police for questioning.

Anyone with information on these homicides 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.
