Police are investigating the murder of an ex-convict who was gunned down along the old Marabella train line on Wednesday afternoon.
According to reports, Roumald "Tucky" Dillion, 44, of Bayshore Avenue, was at a basketball court near his home when he was approached by a gunman who shot him several times and ran off.
His brother Kai "Trap Jaw" Joseph told police that he last saw his brother on the roadside around 2.30 pm that day. Around 4.30 pm, a neighbour came to his home and told him his brother had been shot. When Joseph went to the ground near Phillip's Pie Shop, he saw Dillion lying face down, bleeding from a wound on his back.
He put Dillion in a vehicle and took him to the San Fernando General Hospital where the injured man died while receiving emergency treatment.
Police said Dillion was known to them because of several narcotic, robbery and firearm related offences. (KF)
