REEAZ KHAN, 21, of Pomona Housing Scheme, Region Two, has succumbed to injuries sustained from a gunshot wound to the face by unknown persons.

Khan, who was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the Suddie Public Hospital, was pronounced dead on Monday morning.

Khan, along with his friend, Cordell Grinds, was rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital last Tuesday after they were shot at in Aurora Village. Grinds is currently hospitalised and his condition is listed as stable.

According to information received, both Khan and Grinds went to Aurora village to pay hotel owner, Sahiza Khan, a sum of money that was owed to her. They went with a Mazda motor car, PRR 1219. After conducting their transaction, they drove off when they heard gunshots fired at them.

When Grinds looked at Khan, who was on the passenger side of the car, he noticed that khan was shot to the face between his nose and left eye. Grinds then realised that he was shot to his left arm and palm area. The incident occurred on Tuesday, September 29, around 19:30 hrs.

Grinds continued to drive and took his friend to the hospital. The matter was reported to the Suddie Police Station and investigators, soon after, visited the scene.

No suspect has been held in relation to the shooting. Police observed two holes on the car doors: one on the driver side and the other on the front passenger side.

One .32 spent shell was found in front of the passenger seat on the floor. Khan’s body is currently at the Suddie Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
