Police are investigating the shooting and killing of an Enterprise labourer early Sunday morning.

The victim was identified as Robby Latchmansingh, 26, of John Street, Enterprise.

Police said Central Division Task Force officers were on patrol when around 1.15 am they received a report that a silver Nissan Tiida was seen with bullet holes at the corner of Rodney Road and Crown Trace, Enterprise.

They arrived about 20 minutes later and found the vehicle with bullet holes in the windshield and both rear doors.

Unable to open the doors, the officers used a stone to smash the front passenger window. After gaining access, they found Latchmansingh lying motionless with apparent gunshot wounds.
