A web shop employee was shot in the face and killed during a robbery by a man disguised as a woman early yesterday, police said.

Police said the victim was about to make a deposit when he was accosted outside a business near the old Paradise Island bridge on East Bay Street.

The Nassau Guardian understands that the building is the Asue Draw corporate office, where the victim was employed.

According to Superintendent Paul Rolle, head of the Central Detective Unit (CDU), the man was sitting in his truck when three men riding in a green Honda Civic approached. One of the men jumped out of the car and shot him in the face right before he pulled the money bag from the truck, police said.

"The suspect was wearing a red wig to give the appearance of a female," Rolle said on the scene. "We know it was not a female, but that was the disguise that he used."

Rolle later confirmed that the suspect was also wearing women's clothing. He said police later discovered a green Honda that they believe was used during the murder.

The vehicle was discovered in the area of Okra Hill, off East Bay Street. However, no suspects were taken into custody. Police are appealing to anyone with information on the murder to contact them at 919, 911, Crime Stoppers at 328-TIPS or the CDU at 502-9991.

The murder follows two weekend murders.

According to police, a woman was stabbed to death at an apartment complex off West Bay Street Sunday morning, and a man was shot to death in front of his house in Elizabeth Estates on Friday night.

Rolle said the other residents of the apartment reported that they left the woman home alone, and discovered her in a pool of blood when they returned.

Regarding the Friday incident, police said a man approached the victim who was standing outside his house on Malaysia Way and St. Vincent Avenue around 11:50 p.m. and shot him.

The man was pronounced dead on scene. No one was arrested in either case.
