Another shooting victim from one and a half weeks ago is showing steady improvement. Raheem Chambers was shot the night after gunmen targeted his brothers. It's part of an internal gang rivalry in the St. Martin's area. Police discussed his condition today:…

Police say they are trying to get the victim's family to assist in the investigation:..

Supt. Alejandro Cowo, O.C., C.I.B., Eastern Division
"Mr. Chambers is still hospitalized. His health condition is getting better and better every day and he is in a stable condition at this moment. I know that a male person by the name of Earl Baptist was charged yesterday for that offence of attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm and dangerous harm caused to Raheem Chambers."

Reporter
"We know that two other Chambers persons had been shot at the week before or earlier that week. Is this a systematic targeting of that family due to an inter-gang rivalry?"

Supt. Alejandro Cowo
"Yes, we do believe so. We are also looking for a person reference that shooting of the two other brothers that happened one day before the shooting of Mr. Raheem."
