INVESTIGATORS are appealing to members of the public to come forward with information that can assist in solving a homicide that occurred yesterday in the area of Wulff and Pinedale Roads.

According to police, a young man was walking along Wulff Road when another man shot him after a brief exchange of words.

It happened at around 6pm, police said, and marks the 49th homicide for the year, according to The Tribune’s records.
