A 34-year-old man was found shot to death in his car shortly before 3am on Monday, police said.
The incident took place in the area of Dignity Gardens off Carmichael Road and came 24 hours after a woman was fatally shot by her husband who later killed himself. Monday’s killing pushed the homicide count to 23 for the year, according to The Tribune’s records.
Police said they were alerted early yesterday morning to a report of gunshots in this area and found an unresponsive man in a vehicle. He was suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Despite the efforts of Emergency Medical Services personnel, the victim died on the scene.
Police confirmed the victim was Cammaron Lewis, 34.
Officers are “unclear” as to the motives for this latest homicide and are appealing to the public for assistance in the investigation.
A day earlier, a man reportedly shot and killed his wife before fatally turning the weapon on himself in an apparent murder suicide in the home they shared at Yellow Elder Gardens.
While police did not release their identities on Sunday, The Tribune can confirm they are Ashondi and Nicola Bethel. They were both government employees and the parents of three children.
On Friday, a man was shot while standing on the porch of a home on Fleming Street. According to police, the shooting occurred shortly before 11pm.
The victim and another man were standing on the home’s porch when they were approached by three men, one of whom was armed.
The armed man shot at the men, hitting one of them before he and his accomplices ran from the area.
The victim in this matter was taken to hospital where at last report he was in stable condition, police said.
Anyone with information on these incidents or any crime is asked to call police at 919 or Crime Stoppers at 328-TIPS.

So when they appoint them they call them diplomats. When the expell them, they call them spies. Eighteen countries expelling Russian diplomats in response to poisoning of former Russian spy and his daughter in Britain.

No, every country except The Bshamas establishes these embassies and places these ambassadors specifically to gather intelligence. Nobody is surprised that the Russians were gathering intelligence, because they ALL do it. Remember the US Embassy profile information that was leaked about Fred Mitchell and other senior officials?
Only in the Bahamas do we use these posts as rewards for persons who can "at most" speak with a British accent or host a very nice party. Either skill seems to be sufficient.
These other countries collect psychological profiles on the government, they assess the opposition, they look at the characters who should NOT be in power, they look at the citizenry, the criminals, the activists, the general mood of the populace, they have an entire profile created on the country and its operation assessing risks and opportunities.
The Bahamas just interested in nice furniture for the office,

What is the lesson learned in all these murders? Many of them very similar to others in the past years. By now we do know that the RBPF continue failing to address "Minor Complaints" for such a long time and continue practicing " The wrong approach to crime" by so many Police officers being complacent with the wrong doing and slackness on their own side and disregarding their duties and commitment to "Dignity & Respect" ,neglecting entire communities with police absent or lack of patrolling . Also many Police officers actually owning a very large percentage of "Liquior Store" serving their clientele in odd time through the back door and allowing them to unlawfully occupied several corners of public areas surrounding such liquior stores also using them openly as bathroom. Law Enforcement officials in The Bahamas are part of the problem rather than being part of the solution with their "Big Belly" only good to wear a Santa Claus uniform and stay in an amusement park to entertain the children.
