A Morne Diablo fisherman who was shot multiple times during an altercation on late Friday has reportedly died while being transported to the hospital.
Stonix News reports that 44-year-old Tyrell Karim was being transported in his brother’s Mazda 323 motorcar when he died.
Karim, described as a quiet person who also enjoyed gardening, was shot by a 17-year-old boy who also lived in the village.
According to reports, police received a report that the boy was at Lamy Trace, Morne Diablo, when he was attacked and chopped by a neighbour known to him.
The boy reportedly went into the bushes at the back of the house, returned with a firearm, and fired several shots, wounding Karim.
At the scene, Penal police officers pulled caution tape over the vehicle that relatives confirmed was his brother’s motorcar.
The young woman said she last saw Karim on Friday night when he returned from fishing. She said she did not know the nature of the incident or what caused the shooting.
She also said Karim was the fourth of nine children and the first to die in a violent attack, adding that Karim was the father of two young children.
Karim’s assailant, as of the time of filing this report, is still on the run.
