A 43-year-old man from En­ter­prise was shot and killed on Mon­day.

He was iden­ti­fied as Rod­ney Lutch­man of John Street, En­ter­prise, Ch­agua­nas.

He was known as Apache and was a well-known Mus­lim in the area.

Po­lice said Lutch­man was gunned down near the bas­ket­ball court in En­ter­prise around 6 pm.

Lutch­man, who was al­so known as 'Crime Boss' was said to be an as­so­ciate of mur­dered busi­ness­man and re­put­ed gang leader Sel­wyn "Robo­cop" Alex­is.

On Ju­ly 17, 2016, Alex­is was as­sas­si­nat­ed at his En­ter­prise, Ch­agua­nas, busi­ness place at Free­dom Street.

Po­lice sources said be­cause of Latch­man's mur­der they are ex­pect­ing an up­surge in gang vi­o­lence in­clud­ing reprisal shoot­ings and mur­ders.

Po­lice, how­ev­er, as­sured that they will in­crease pa­trols in the area over the next 72 hours and con­tin­u­ing.
