A brazen daylight shooting left one man dead in Enterprise, Chaguanas, yesterday.
Police are currently investigating the shooting death of 27-year-old Jameel “Bones” Boyce, which occurred just after midday.
Around 12.15 pm, Boyce, who lived at School Lane, Enterprise, was at the home of a female friend at Lot 33, LP 84 Walcott Lane, Enterprise, when a male voice called out to him. Witnesses say Boyce went outside and a man dressed in black pulled out a firearm and started shooting at him. Boyce was hit several times in the upper body and head.
Boyce was able to run a short distance away, but collapsed on the roadway. The shooter then approached his body and shot Boyce at close range with rapid gunfire.
The shooter escaped on foot along Walcott Lane.
Officers, led by Inspector Glen Teesdale, Sgt Jitindra Toolaram and Sgt Glen Persad of the Central Division Task Force and Central Division Criminal Investigations Department, cordoned off the area and carried out a search for the perpetrator without success.
The scene was processed by CSI No 16786 PC Chapdeosingh and No 18334 PC Endal, as well as CSI from Homicide Region Three. The body was removed by undertakers and an autopsy is expected to be conducted tomorrow.
