Car wash operator shot and killed in St Andrew

 

Reports are that about 8:15 p.m., Foster, otherwise called Alex, was in the company of others at his place of business along Central Avenue in St Andrew when a grey Toyota Axio motor car with three occupants who were wearing in ski masks drove up.

 

Two of the men alighted from the vehicle and engaged him in a short conversation.

 

They reportedly got hold of his licensed firearm and opened fire, hitting him.

 

The deceased ran and fell to the ground while the men escaped in the waiting motor car. 

 

The police were summoned and, upon their arrival, Foster was observed lying in a pool of blood.

 

Further observation revealed what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the upper body.

 

The scene was processed and the body removed for post-mortem examination.

 

No motive has been established for the killing.

 

The St Andrew North police are conducting an investigation into the matter.
