Police reported no new developments Thursday afternoon in the shooting death investigation of a 22-year-old St. Thomas man who was gunned down Wednesday night in Savan.
VIPD spokeswoman Sgt. Annette Raimer said homicide investigators have not established a motive for the shooting nor have they recovered the weapon used in the shooting. Maculy Wheatley died at the hospital Thursday morning after undergoing emergency surgery for bullet wounds to the abdomen.
Police units responding to Savan around 6 p.m. to reports of gunshots found Wheatley lying on a General Gade roadway near the Red Ball Grocery. Raimer said investigators questioned a friend who transported Wheatley to the hospital almost immediately after the shooting.
Raimer urged anyone with information to contact the VIPD Major Crime Unit at 774-2196, the emergency number 911 or the confidential crime line at 777-8711.
