An eyewitness told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) minutes after the shooting: “A series of gunshots just fired on the Chaussee Road, next to Grass Street. At least one guy was shot. A green car from Grass Street just picked up the victim and sped away with him. Four shots that was fired. Not sure if he is deceased by now. It was a drive-by shooting.”
