Delivery man killed, another injured in robbery
ONE man was shot dead and another injured during an attempted robbery at Blackwood Gardens in Old Harbour Bay, St Catherine yesterday.
The dead man has been identified as 41-year-old Desmond Johnson, a delivery man of Reid’s Pen and Old Braeton, both in the parish.
The Old Harbour Police report that about 5:30 pm Johnson and another man were delivering baked goods at a shop when three men, armed with guns, pounced upon them and demanded money. When their demands were not met, the gunmen reportedly opened fire, hitting Johnson and the other man.
Both were taken to the Spanish Town Hospital, where Johnson died. The other man was admitted in serious but stable condition.
