The third shooting in four days this week, all of them apparently connected, has resulted in the death of the victim. Sources told Radio One the dead man was the father of Leslie Hyndman, 21, of Oswald Harris Court who was shot early Monday morning in Savan.
Unknown assailants opened fire in the latest incident Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning as the victim was walking near the Red Ball grocery in Savan, Radio One reported. He later died of his wounds.
As of early Wednesday morning, the Police Department had not issued any information.
The series of shooting began around 9:15 p.m. last Saturday night as Abijah Brown, 17, of Donoe Apartments, was walking toward the basketball court at the housing project. He was shot in the shoulder and the side of the neck.
On Monday morning, young Hyndman was shot.
Unnamed sources told Radio One the shootings may have been in retaliation for the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy, Kishawn Daly, as the St. John Carnival in the early morning hours of July 7.
