A man was reportedly beaten and shot at by a gang of males in Blackstars, Morne Du Don, Castries this evening, June 23.
The victim is known as Mario, who is believed to be in his 30′s-40′s.
An eyewitness told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that Mario was sitting on a wall by the road, where he usually sits, when at about 8:30 p.m. he was attacked by a gang of about four or five males, who also fired two shots at him as he escaped.
“They just walked up on him and attacked him and gave him a body slam, kicks and punches.
“He was like ‘Maysiay, what I do ya’ll’,” the eyewitness explained.
“He managed to escape whilst on the ground, and kicked off running down hill. One of them fired two rounds.”
It is not yet known if the matter was reported to the police.
