A 29-year-old man was gunned down at his Ari­ma home ear­ly on Fri­day morn­ing.

Sources said Dex­ter McMil­lan was shot and killed at his home on Man­an Road, off the Ari­ma Old Road, just af­ter 12 am.

Res­i­dents re­port­ed hear­ing gun­shots but did not in­ves­ti­gate un­til hours lat­er, af­ter sun­rise, when McMil­lan’s body was found on his bed.

One res­i­dent told Guardian Me­dia that McMil­lan was in­volved in a dis­pute with an­oth­er man in the area over the cut­ting of a wa­ter pipeline.

Guardian Me­dia vis­it­ed the scene on Fri­day morn­ing as of­fi­cers of the Re­gion II Homi­cide Bu­reau and the Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tions (CSI) Unit can­vassed the home for clues in­to the mur­der.

Sev­er­al rel­a­tives had to be con­soled as some res­i­dents loud­ly con­demned the killing and called for jus­tice.
