BCI Security’s Quinton Young, who was at the scene, reported, “Five to six males arrived at the site and asked questions to the lot. The confrontation got heated and the group of men then opened fire on one of the vehicles, shooting the person – who later died – at least four to five times before aiming the gun at the passenger who was shot in his arm,” he explained, adding that another vehicle was also struck by bullets, but luckily nobody in it was hurt.

Young disclosed that the suspects apparently escaped in a minibus and private car.

However, three from the group were arrested in less than 24 hours.
