Unidentified man gunned down in taxi in St James

ST JAMES, Jamaica – An unidentified man died as a result of a gunshot wound he received in Bickersteth, St James on Thursday.

The body is of brown complexion and has an unkempt hairstyle. It was clad in a red shirt, blue jeans and a pair of black Polo slippers.

Reports from the Montego Bay Police are that about 4:50 pm, the man was sitting in the front passenger seat of a taxi, waiting to be transported to another community. An explosion was then heard. The man was found slumped in the motor car.

The police were summoned and he was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Meanwhile, detectives are asking anyone who may be able to identify the body or assist in their investigations to contact the Montego Bay Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB) at 76-953-6191, Crime Stop at 311 or the nearest police station.
