POLICE in Grand Bahama are seeking the public’s help in solving that island’s latest murder, which occurred shortly before 3am Sunday.

According to police, officers received reports of gunshots in the parking lot area of a business in the area of the International Bazaar on East Sunrise Highway.

Responding officers, once on the scene, discovered the lifeless body of man who had been shot, lying on the ground.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene and investigations into the matter are continuing. While police did not release the victim’s identity, friends and loved ones have identified the dead man is Kashon Fowler.

Those who knew the victim expressed condolences on Facebook, many in shock over this death.

Sunday’s murder pushed the country’s toll to 95 for the year, with 17 for the island of Grand Bahama.

The killing came five days after a Freeport Harbour employee, who did not show up for work, was found murdered in his apartment in Freeport.

The victim, Dwayne Jackson, a courier, was found stabbed to death shortly before 11am last Tuesday inside his unit at the Maxim Court Apartments, off Ponce de Leon Drive in Freeport.

Anyone with information on these incidents is asked to call police or the Crime Stoppers hotline at 328-TIPS.
