posted (October 1, 2018)
So, that happened at 12:30 am on Muffles street and 15 minutes later, at a quarter to one, shots rang out again - this time at the corner of Sapodilla St and Zericote Street. Again the shooter was on a motorbike, and this time the target was 24 year old Justin Diaz.

Police told us more:..

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"Police received a report of another shooting incident where they responded to the Sapodilla Street area which is almost within the area of the first shooting. Where upon arrival, one Justin Diaz, 24 years old scene with multiple gunshot injuries to the body and as well he was on the ground. He was transported to the Norther Regional Hospital and later to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where at first he was listed in a critical condition, but I believe he has since been stabilized. He apparently received 4 gunshot injuries to his body. This matter as well is also being investigated as it was also reported that 2 persons on a motorcycle as well drove pass and fired those shots towards him which caught him."

Reporter
"Do you believe that these 2 shooting incidents are related?"

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"They could have been related, but as I mentioned before this matter is under investigation to determine whether or not they are."

Diaz was shot twice, once to the right side of his chest and the other behind his left leg.
