A 53-year-old man, who po­lice de­scribed as be­ing “well known” to them, was gunned down while wait­ing for pas­sen­gers at the Mal­ick taxi stand yes­ter­day morn­ing.

Po­lice said Sher­win Find­ley was ply­ing his blue Toy­ota Yaris for hire on Sixth Av­enue, near the East­ern Main Road, when he was con­front­ed by a gun­man wear­ing blue cov­er­alls and a black mask. The gun­man shot Find­ley sev­er­al times be­fore run­ning away on Sixth Av­enue.

North East­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force of­fi­cers were called and took Find­ley to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex, Mt Hope, where he was de­clared dead.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said Find­ley had sur­vived sev­er­al mur­der at­tempts in the past.
Po­lice said Find­ley’s body re­mained at the hos­pi­tal yes­ter­day.
