Lawmen responded to the scene and found thirty- seven (37) – year – old Ibol Tyson of Low Street, Nevis, seated motionless in his car, having received reports of gunshots being heard in the above-mentioned area.
A press release says investigations indicate that Tyson was accosted by armed assailant(s) and shot multiple times while driving down Craddock Road around 8am. Mr. Tyson’s subsequent loss of vehicular control caused him to collide with a tree on the side of the road, bringing his vehicle to a stop.

Among these items are one (1) firearm and one (1) magazine containing ten (10) rounds of 9mm ammunition.

We must in our country find a way to live in peace. I call on all to assist the Police in bringing these criminals to justice.”
