James said the vehicle in which the shooter fled the scene has also been described and detectives are actively pursuing that lead.
Armstrong popularly called ‘DJ Casual’ remains a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) where he is recuperating following a surgical operation on Easter Monday.
Hinds is also a patient at that institution.
Police said, about 04:10 hrs on April 21, Armstrong, 34, of Guyhoc Park, was involved in an argument and subsequent scuffle with two men in the car park at the Providence Stadium where the Easter Fest concert, featuring international artistes Jah Cure and Sean Paul, was staged.
However, Hinds, 30, of North Ruimveldt, in the city, too, intervened and one of two other men pulled a firearm and shot the duo, Armstrong to his abdomen and left hand and Hinds to his left foot.
It was reported that there was a row, involving Armstrong and other patrons, over ice in the VIP Lounge at the Stadium and, after he left there and went to the parking lot for his car, a man confronted him a second time and during a heated row, he was shot and wounded.
