Royal Bahamas Police, Hulan Hanna, "It is believed that the
individual was able to break free from these persons and he
ran outside. While running out of the house suspects opened
fired on the gentleman and hit him with a single shot to the
back. He continued running and he eventually collapsed
across the street just a few yards away from where he
lived."
