Has­san Ali, the man shot in the head dur­ing a shootout be­tween a po­lice of­fi­cer and two ban­dits last Fri­day, died yes­ter­day evening.

Ali, 35, of Far­fan Street, La Puer­ta, Diego Mar­tin, was at Specs Cuts Bar­ber­shop last Fri­day when two thieves stormed in de­mand­ing tick­ets to Chi­na­town, a par­ty in Ch­aguara­mas that took place on Sun­day.

Ac­cord­ing to rel­a­tives of Ali, he died around 7 pm last night. Ali is ex­pect­ed to be buried to­day un­der Mus­lim rites, fol­low­ing his au­top­sy.

Off du­ty po­lice in­spec­tor Ken­neth Mor­gan, who killed one of the ban­dits, is still ward­ed in a sta­ble con­di­tion at West Shore med­ical.

The ban­dit was iden­ti­fied as Shaquille John, 23 of El Do­ra­do, Tu­na­puna. An au­top­sy yes­ter­day re­vealed John died of a sin­gle gun­shot wound to the chest.

With Ali's death and that of a young woman whose de­com­pos­ing body was found down a precipice yes­ter­day, the mur­der toll is now 359.
