According to Police Press Liaison Officer, Assistant Superintendent Audley Peters said once on the scene, investigating officers were directed to a house where they found the victim’s lifeless body lying face down.
Emergency Medical Services personnel pronounced the man dead.
ASP Peters told reporters, a group of persons were gathered in front of the home when the incident took place.
