A 30-year-old labour­er was shot and killed while ly­ing on his bed at home in Gas­par­il­lo ear­ly this morn­ing.

Ren­ni­co Khan, who worked with the San Fer­nan­do City Cor­po­ra­tion, was asleep in the liv­ing room of his Bar­ran Av­enue, Lums­den Street home when a gun­man en­tered and opened fire around 3 am.

Po­lice said Khan lived with his 54-year-old aunt and 35-year-old cousin. His aunt told in­ves­ti­ga­tors she was jolt­ed awake by gun­fire and heard the as­sailant shout, “Doh f...king move,” be­fore more shots rang out. The shoot­er then es­caped through a front win­dow.

Khan was found bleed­ing from gun­shot wounds to his head and shoul­der. His aunt tried to wake him but got no re­sponse. He died at the scene.

Crime scene in­ves­ti­ga­tors found 12 spent 9mm shells on the floor.
