A Mara­bel­la man is now dead af­ter gun­men opened fire on him on Sun­day night while he was lim­ing at the home of a neigh­bour.

Po­lice said 37-year-old Ren­nie “Sham­poo” Bab­wah, a fish­er­man of Bat­too Boule­vard, was un­der the home of an­oth­er res­i­dent along the train line at East Bayshore, around 7.05 pm, when he was shot mul­ti­ple times.

The home­own­er told po­lice he was in­side when he heard a vol­ley of gun­shots. Short­ly af­ter, he saw Bab­wah’s bloody body on the ground un­der his house.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors re­trieved 32 spent 9 mm cas­ings.

The shoot­ing was the sec­ond mur­der in Mara­bel­la with­in two days. Cur­ban “Ban” James, 48, a welder from West Bayshore, Mara­bel­la, was fa­tal­ly shot by three masked men around 11 pm on Fri­day near a min­i­mart in his neigh­bour­hood. James had ear­li­er been in­volved in an al­ter­ca­tion with an­oth­er res­i­dent.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors found 15 spent 9 mm shells, a pis­tol mag­a­zine loaded with 14 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion, and two more rounds of am­mu­ni­tion at that scene.

Of­fi­cers of the Homi­cide Bu­reau Re­gion 3 are in­ves­ti­gat­ing. —Sascha Wil­son
