CBC is reporting that "Police in Amherst, N.S., are turning to the public for tips after a man was shot on Prince Arthur Street on Monday evening and later died from his injuries.
According to a Facebook post by the Amherst Police Department, a report was made at 6:51 p.m. about a man who appeared to be injured on the ground. When police arrived, they found a man who was seriously wounded and sustained a single gunshot wound."
"The man was taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead, police said. 'Those responsible fled the scene in a vehicle after the incident,' police said in an update on Facebook. In response to concern in the community, the Cumberland Homelessness and Housing Support Association said in a Facebook post that the incident happened near its facility, but that its staff and guests were not involved."
I heard the victim was a drug dealer and I heard the shelter is under investigation for the guests selling drugs on property.
ReplyDeleteThat was my first suspicion but I wanted to give the shelter the benefit of the doubt. In BC we have a huge problem with drug dealers selling drugs at detox centers. That's predatory. They are trying to get clean. Leave them alone.
DeleteThe shooter was beaten by the victim earlier in the day from what I'm hearing. He later returned and executed the victim before fleeing with another man in a vehicle. Police found the shooter later on and unconfirmed reports suggest he was shot by police.
ReplyDeleteAll three men have lengthy criminal records and known for drugs.
So once again drugs in Amherst are tied to the red and white just like the murder of Randy Mersereau, his brother Kirk and his brothers wife Nancy.
