A man was shot and killed near Gerald Cash Primary School on Tuesday afternoon.   The 27 year old was killed in front of his home in Flamingo Gardens.

Police Press Liaison Officer, Chief Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings was on the scene where she briefed reporters.  She said, “this male opened fire on the victim as he held the 8 month old toddler shooting him multiple times.  The toddler was unharmed in the incident.”

Another child was also on the scene when the shooting occurred.  Skippings said, “something is wrong with this.   As a country, we have to be able to talk to our males.  We have to let them know yeah we will have conflicts but we have to find different ways to resolve these conflicts.”

According to the Chief Superintendent the victim has had interaction with police.  The perpetrator left the area in a white Japanese vehicle.

Skippings also appealed the public for information.  “I’m asking you to reach out to the officers of the Criminal Investigations Department.  Let’s get this suspect off the street.”

This incident is the 90th homicide for the year.
