A man was shot and killed inside his board house in Cedar Grove, Manchester, on Wednesday by bullets fired by gunmen who had opened fire on another man walking nearby on his way home.
Dead is 29-year-old chef Asmond Mitchell.
The Manchester police reported that about 8:57 p.m., a man was walking home along a dirt track in a heavily vegetated area of the community when he was pounced upon by unknown assailant(s), who opened fire on him.
The police said the man ran.
The police said cops visited the area and checked Mitchell’s house, where he was found in bed with what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body.
The scene was processed, and he was pronounced dead at the Mandeville Regional Hospital.
