Po­lice are cur­rent­ly at the scene of a mur­der at the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah (QPS). The vic­tim, who has been iden­ti­fied as Ma­sud Pros­per, 49, from Bel­mont, was shot mul­ti­ple times at around 5.30 pm while he sat in a black Lancer car, which had been parked in the park­ing area in front of the food court.

Rel­a­tives say he had gone to pick up his nine-year-old son from foot­ball prac­tice when the shoot­ing oc­curred. The boy re­port­ed­ly wit­nessed his fa­ther’s killing.

While the in­ci­dent forced some peo­ple to aban­don their dai­ly ex­er­cise, many oth­ers con­tin­ued their nor­mal rou­tines.

Food ven­dors con­tin­ued set­ting up as usu­al, serv­ing cus­tomers who were un­aware that a man had been gunned down a short dis­tance away.
