Reports indicate that the confrontation occurred in the vicinity of Twins Pharmacy and the victim was identified as Shawn Brown. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.

Reports indicate that Brown and two other men exited a car which was parked in front of Twins Pharmacy, and started shooting at a man, who was walking on the road. The man, who sprinted for safety, whipped out a gun and returned fire, injuring Brown.

He continued: “These people didn’t care who else was around, they just shooting like they mad, vendors were running like they mad for shelter.”
