Days after a man was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting early Christmas morning, another man was murdered in a similar fashion shortly before 7 o'clock last night in Chippingham, police reported.
The shooting happened at the intersection of Dunmore Avenue and Infant View Road.
A group of men was reportedly gathered at the intersection when a dark colored vehicle drove up, police said.
One of the two men who were allegedly inside the vehicle opened fire on the group and the unidentified man was fatally shot, according to Superintendent of Police Stephen Dean.
The victim was reportedly shot multiple times to the body.
"We want to appeal to anyone in the public who may have been in this area and seen something happen to kindly contact the police or kindly supply the information, whether you have seen a vehicle travelling in this area, whether you've seen some suspicious [looking] persons or have any idea of who the shooters might be," Dean said.
He could not confirm the victim's age or whether he was a resident of the area.
"At this point we do not know the motive, we do not know what this may have stemmed from," he said.  "We are early in our investigations."
No other men in the group were injured during the incident, according to authorities.
Police, meanwhile, said they were still investigating the murder of Bruce Talmadge Sands Jr., 26, a technician of the Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC), who was shot and killed around 4:30 a.m. Christmas morning on East Bay Street, east of the Harbour Bay Shopping Centre.
In another matter, La Sean Bain, 23, of West Dennis Court, Yellow Elder Gardens, was shot in that area, according to police. He was transported to hospital via EMS personnel where he succumb to his injuries.
Last night's murder pushed the country's murder count for 2011 to 125.
The Bahamas recorded four murder records in five years.
