Residents of Gall Hill, Christ Church, are calling for a greater police presence in the close-knit district following yesterday’s daylight shooting that resulted in the second homicide for the year in that area.
Eyewitnesses said Dominic “Ted” Yarde had just left home when a man shot at him multiple times as he was driving his car along Gall Hill. The car collided with two vehicles, including an oncoming route taxi, before overturning on the driver’s side. Police said the assailant then fired several shots into the car before fleeing.
The bleeding 27-year-old was pulled from the wreck by men in the neighbourhood but died before ambulance personnel arrived.
Yarde’s girlfriend Tiffany Inniss also ran out of her house and assisted in pulling him out of the vehicle. (MB/JRN)
