The Chief Superintendent added, “the second victim was shot to the upper body where he was transported to the hospital and is presently in stable condition.”
Arawak Cay Conch, Fish, Vegetables and Food Vendors Association President, Rodney Russell told reporters on Tuesday that he had written the establishment where the incident happened about noise and vulgarity. He said, “I received a document from them saying it’s not them. Now today, I stand before this place where a young man has lost his life. It’s deplorable.”
According to Russell Arawak Cay is a safe place to visit. However, he opined that when the country fails to enforce the laws citizens take that law into their own hands which is not good for sustainable growth and development.
The Association plans to meet with the proprietors of The Players Club.
