So what led to his death? Well, police say this area has seen a number of shooting recently and Cowo told us what's at the bottom of the rivals and gun violence:..

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"What we understand is that there is a feud between a group of male persons from the Ebony Street area with those persons from the Conch Shell Bay area and this is what we suspect may have caused what might have led to the death of this person because he is one of the persons who associates with the group from Conch Shell Bay. At this moment police are looking for 5 male persons that we positively believe that can assist us in this investigation."

Reporter
"All the men are from Conch Shell?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"They are from different areas within that vicinity."

Reporter
"Can you speak to the reason behind the feud between those 2 warring factions in that area? I know it can't be turf. Is it over drugs? What can you share with us?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"This is something from way back. There have been several shootings where both factions have received different shootings amongst themselves and this is what is causing the shooting incidents in that immediate area there."

Reporter
"Could this not have been foretold being the level of sustain violence in that area for the past few weeks?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
'Yes, we knew that there is an ongoing feud amongst those 2 groups there and the police camera is assisting us to a great extent in this investigation and based on what we view from the camera, it ws observed that it was just less than a minute after the shots were fired that police responded to that area. However, where the body was found is totally far from where the shooting happened. we can say that the police presence was right within that area."

As you heard, 5 persons are being sought for questioning.
