A 37-year-old La Hor­quet­ta man is this coun­try's lat­est mur­der vic­tim, af­ter he was gunned down while dri­ving his car on Sun­day night.

Po­lice said Ja­mal Joseph was dri­ving his blue Toy­ota Aqua on­to CLR James Cir­cu­lar in La Hor­quet­ta, at around 9:50 pm, when a grey Hyundai Tuc­son drove near his ve­hi­cle.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that gun­men in that ve­hi­cle shot at Joseph sev­er­al times be­fore speed­ing off.

Passers-by took the wound­ed man to the Ari­ma Hos­pi­tal, where he was de­clared dead.

Po­lice from the North­ern Di­vi­sion Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tion Unit and the Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions Re­gion Two are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.
