A 35-year-old man is St Vincent and the Grenadines’ latest murder victim.
Police reported Edinboro residents Dwayne Barnfield and Allan Lewis, 25, were walking along the Edinboro Public Road towards Kingstown on Thursday morning when they were attacked by a gunman while passing an area known as Nine Steps.
Barnfield and Lewis were shot multiple times and they were transported to the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital (MCMH) by police who responded to reports of a shooting.
Barnfield underwent surgery and later succumbed to his injuries.
His death took the island’s 2023 murder figure to 53.
Police have appealed for information to solve the murder.
