Relatives baffled at Enterprise man’s killing

“The only people that could really tell you what happened is him, his killer, and God,” said a relative who awaited the results of an autopsy done at the Forensic Science Centre in St James. “I was not there at the point in time, and I am hearing a lot of mixed stories, so I don’t know what to believe.” Relatives were told gunshots were heard on Manswell Street, Enterprise, and when residents checked they found Stephenson lying in a pool of blood in the road, suffering from gunshot wounds.

He died at the scene.

Yesterday, the man was initially identified by reports in the media as Gabriel King, however relatives clarified his name, along with other pertinent information.

“He is not 35, his name is not Gabriel King, and no relative killed him.” said one relative, “I don’t understand where they (the media) got their information from.” Relatives described Stephenson as a quiet person who kept to himself. He was also described as a family man, who did everything for his two children. Relatives expressed shock on hearing of his death, knowing that he was not involved in any criminal activity.

Police officers are also trying to determine a motive behind the shooting as they continue their investigation.

“He wasn’t in a gang, and he kept to himself,” said one relative, “When I heard he was killed I couldn’t believe it. I had to ask over and over, just to be sure. This is something no one would want to experience.” The autopsy confirmed that he died from multiple gunshot wounds.
