A man in his 20s in the coun­try’s lat­est mur­der vic­tim fol­low­ing a dri­ve-by shoot­ing in Ari­ma on Wednes­day af­ter­noon.

The vic­tim has been iden­ti­fied as 25-year-old Bran­don Atkins, from Print­ery Road.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 1:20 pm, Atkins was found at the side of the road. A white ve­hi­cle re­port­ed­ly was seen flee­ing the scene.

It is be­lieved that Atkins was shot dead by the oc­cu­pants of the ve­hi­cle. The ve­hi­cle is said to have dri­ven past him, with the oc­cu­pants re­port­ed­ly open­ing fire and shoot­ing him mul­ti­ple times.

Bran­don Atkins died on the scene.

Po­lice said while they are yet to de­ter­mine a mo­tive for his mur­der, Atkins was "well-known" to them as he had had "sev­er­al run-ins with the law."

In­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue.
