Nassau, Bahamas - Police are investigating a shooting incident Friday, 16th March, 2018, which has claimed the life of one man and left two other men with serious injuries.

According to reports, shortly before 10:00pm, police received information of a shooting at Tufa Close off Cordeaux Avenue. On arrival, Officers met three men lying on the ground with apparent gunshot injuries to the body. Emergency Medical Service Personnel were called to the scene and transported the victims to hospital. One of the victims was later pronounced dead, while the other two are listed in serious condition.
It is believed that several men were standing on the street when they were approached by gunmen. Shots were fired, resulting in the men being injured.

Police are actively investigating this matter and are appealing to members of the public for any information that can assist in identifying and locating the suspects.
Investigation continues into this matter.

POLICE ARE APPEALING TO ANYONE WITH INFORMATION REGARDING ANY CRIME, NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR INSIGNIFICANT (THE TIP) MAY SEEM, TO ANONYMOUSLY CALL POLICE AT 919 OR CRIME STOPPERS AT 328-TIPS (8477) (NEW PROVIDENCE) OR 1-242-300-8477 (FAMILY ISLANDS)

PREVENTION CRIME TIP – If a crime occurs – report it!

Everyone should consider it his/her responsibility to report crime. Many criminals target favorite areas and have predictable methods of operation. When you report all the facts about a crime, it helps the police assign officers in the places where crimes are occurring or where they are most likely to occur. If you don’t report crime, this allows the criminal to continue to operate without interference. 

In many cases, it is the information provided by victims and witnesses that leads to the arrest of a criminal. So tell the police as much as you can; no fact is too trivial. The police need the eyes and ears of all citizens.
