A 25-year-old Sea Lots man, whom police arrested Thursday and released Friday warning him not to return to the area due to death threats against him, was killed yesterday evening.
According to police reports, around 6.30 pm a man with his face covered with a white jersey approached Ronnie "Mad Dog" Hogan as he stood along Pioneer Drive with Mabel Edwards, 65. The gunman opened fire, fatally wounding Hogan and hitting Edwards in the left leg.
Police said Hogan had received numerous death threats and during his time in custody they warned him about returning to Sea Lots. He was out on bail for the shooting of a police officer earlier this year.
Edwards was warded in a stable condition at hospital last evening. Prior to yesterday's shooting, Sea Lots, a known crime hotspot, had several months of relative peace.
