3rd D’Abadie shooting victim dies

Police said that Shavaughn Sobers, 30, died at hospital hours after his father Leon and another man were shot dead at their Sobers’ house at Harper Circular in D’Abadie.

The hunt continued yesterday for the gunman who rode on a bicycle when he shot the three men who at the time were cleaning the yard.

While relatives were yesterday reluctant to speak at the Forensic Science Centre in St James, Newsday understands that the men were approached by the gunman shortly after 7 pm on Tuesday.

Without warning the man began firing at the men hitting Joel Alexander, Leon Sobers and Shavaughn Sobers multiple times before he got back on his bicycle and pedalled away.

Two other men, Christopher Dottin and Nijsanne Charles, remain warded at hospital both in stable condition.

Newsday was told that Leon was a contractor and father of three.

Shavaughn, who recently got married was a father of two.

A relative of 36-yearold Alexander said he worked with the elder Sobers, transporting construction goods to his home which is under renovation.

Newsday was told that Alexander was a truck driver for a number of years. He was also a father of two.

While a motive has not yet been established, police are working on the theory that this shooting may have had a connection to another shooting in the area which claimed the lives of three persons on November 5.

In that incident, Frank Joseph and his son Kevin Plaza as well as 38-year-old Ricardo Singh were shot multiple times by unknown gunmen on John Lane, in D’Abadie less. No arrests have been made in connection with either incidents.
