In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing in­to an at­tempt on the life of a 24-year-old man from Co­conut Dri­ve, Mor­vant, while in Mal­abar on Sun­day.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 1 pm the man was in his black Nis­san wag­on at the cor­ner of Banyan and Ma­hogany Dri­ve when a gun­man ap­proached him and shot him in the back.

Po­lice said the man was tak­en to the Ari­ma Dis­trict Health Fa­cil­i­ty and then trans­ferred to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex in Mount Hope where he, up to press time last evening, re­mains ward­ed in a crit­i­cal con­di­tion.
