Diego Martin man gunned down

Gunmen opened fire on a 40-year-old man, killing him in front of his home, on January 19.

At around 10.45 am, Akil Walters, a labourer, was in front of his home at Cizan Trace, Blue Basin, Diego Martin, when gunmen got out of a brown SUV and started shooting. Reports say the men then got back into the vehicle and drove off.

No one else was injured and Walters died at the scene. Four Roads police are investigating.

In December, two men were killed in Diego Martin while liming with a group of people in front of a house on Andrew Drive. An eyewitness said the car pulled up and three men got out and began shooting indiscriminately before jumping back into the car.

Decklon Allert, 30, was killed two days after his son’s birthday in the shooting spree and weeks before the birth of his second child. Allert died at the scene.

The other man killed was only identified by his alias, "Rope," and he died in hospital. Four other men were taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds.
