The iden­ti­ty of a man who was shot and thrown out of a speed­ing ve­hi­cle in Ari­ma, re­mained un­known up to late yes­ter­day.

Of­fi­cers from the North­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force re­ceived a re­port of a shoot­ing on Bal­sam Trace, near Mal­abar Ex­ten­sion at around 9.50 am and went to the scene where they found the body of a man on the road with a gun­shot wound.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the man had a charg­er cord around his neck and two plas­tic tie straps around his right hand. There were sev­er­al bruis­es on the body which po­lice said were like­ly caused by the im­pact when he was thrown from a car.

Of­fi­cers from the Re­gion II Homi­cide Bu­reau vis­it­ed the scene with a dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer.

Of­fi­cers re­mained at the scene up to mid­day col­lect­ing ev­i­dence and can­vass­ing the area for wit­ness­es and footage from sur­veil­lance cam­eras.

Coun­cil­lor for Mal­abar South Joyce­lyn Wor­rell, who vis­it­ed the area, said res­i­dents re­port­ed hear­ing a sin­gle gun­shot and the sound of a speed­ing car be­fore the body was dis­cov­ered.

“It’s a sad day be­cause I woke up to this morn­ing to the news that some­one was mur­dered. It seems to be a very young per­son, I can’t con­firm but some­one told me he may be from Daniel Trace, Train­line.

“We are liv­ing in ter­ri­ble times and crime is be­yond our imag­i­na­tion,” she said.

Despite finding out just three days earlier—on December 23—that I had breast cancer, I still got dressed and showed up on December 26, Boxing Day, for a birthday party. I didn’t go to escape the truth. I went to remind myself I was still here, still living, still me.
