A man's body was found on a dirt road off Cowpen Road south yesterday, police reported.
Superintendent Paul Rolle, head of the Central Detective Unit, said police received reports around 9 a.m. of the discovery.
He said the victim, who police believe was in his mid 30s, was shot several times to the torso.
Police said a farmer discovered the body.
When The Nassau Guardian arrived on the scene, the body was still in the middle of the road.
Rolle said it appeared the man was killed about six hours before he was discovered.
He said rigor mortis had not set in.
Police did not have a motive for the killing and appealed to the public for information about the shooting.
Police asked anyone who has a missing male relative to also contact police.
The man was wearing a tan colored shirt, blue jeans pants, a G-Shock black watch and a pair of green, orange and white tennis shoes.
The victim also had a distinct tattoo on his stomach, police said.
"This male is slim built, has a full beard with a tattoo across his stomach saying 'Young Money'," Rolle said.
"I am certain someone would have a relative who has a tattoo of 'Young Money' on his stomach.
"We appeal to you to reach out to us and let us see if we can advance this investigation."
The killing pushed the murder count for 2014 to 65.
Haywood Thompson, 21, was the 64th murder victim for 2014.
The Eleuthera resident was found with multiple stab wounds in an unfinished building on that island in North Palmetto Point on July 6.
