Man shot dead in Champs Fleurs

Residents told police they heard rapid gunfire and on checking later, found the bullet-riddled body of Isaiah Neptune face up on the road. He was clad in a red t-shirt and three-quarter pants. Police said it appeared that he was shot at least nine times in the chest.

A party of police officers led by Senior Supt Mc Donald Jacob and including Acting Supt Dillon and officers from the Homicide Bureau visited the scene along with the DMO who ordered the body removed.

No motive was established for the murder, the 131st for the year, but police said Neptune was well-known to them and he may have been executed as part of an on-going feud between rival criminal gangs in the area. No arrest has been made.
