A group of men in a silver Honda Accord went on a killing spree that started late Saturday night, according to police, who believe the assailants took the lives of three men in separate incidents on New Providence this weekend.
And before the night was through on Sunday, in a separate incident, another man was shot in Nassau Village around 8:45 p.m. and died in hospital.
The Guardian understands that the latest victim is in his early 20s.
Before that killing, police rushed from scene to scene in inner city areas in the early morning hours Sunday as reports of the violent deaths poured in.
Royal Bahamas Police Force Superintendent Ken Strachan, who heads the Firearms Tracing Unit, said the silver vehicle was used in multiple shootings and an apparent vehicular homicide before the occupants set it on fire in the Kemp Road area.
The carnage started just after 10 p.m. Saturday, according to police.
In the first incident, a group of people was sitting on a wall through Avocado Street in Pinewood Gardens, when the silver Honda pulled up and one of the occupants rolled down a window and opened fire on the group with a gun.
A 20-year-old man, who lives through Avocado Street, who was sitting on the wall was shot in the neck, and a woman was also hit, said Strachan.
EMS personnel transported the man to Princess Margaret Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The woman was said to be in serious condition at last report.
The second incident involving the silver Honda took place around 1:30 a.m. Sunday through Johnson Alley, off Wulff Road, police reported.
Police were still investigating the Avocado street murder when crime scene officers rushed to that area after receiving reports of hearing gunshots.
Reports are that a 22-year-old man who lives through Lyon Road was walking along Johnson Alley when four men in a silver Honda Accord drove through the corner.
One of the men got out of the car, chased the man down the street and shot him several times. EMS responded and took the man to Princess Margaret Hospital where he died, police said.
As police were investigating that scene, reports came in that yet another man had been killed not too far away.
Police said that minutes after the man was shot through Johnson Alley, a man who had just left his sister's home on Strachan's Alley in the Kemp Road area was hit by a silver Honda Accord, the same vehicle police believe was used in the two earlier shootings.
Police were investigating the Lyon Road resident's death as a traffic fatality, but Superintendent Paul Rolle, who heads the Central Detective Unit, said they are still trying to determine exactly how the man died.
Reports are that the man was rolled over by the car. His left leg severed near his pelvis; his torso crushed to the point of his intestines spilling out onto the street.
While investigating the third death, police found the Honda in the Kemp Road area. It had been set on fire.
Rolle said police belive there is a connection between these latest murders and the killing of 23-year-old George Nixon on Lyon Road Thursday night.
Nixon, who was released from Her Majesty's Prison earlier this month, was shot to death around 10 p.m.
Police said Nixon was found face-up on the ground. He was bareback and barefoot.
"We believe that this male was being chased by two men, both armed with handguns and wearing dark clothing," Assistant Superintendent BK Bonamy Jr. said on the scene.
"They cornered him in the back of a building called Penn's Convenience Store where they shot him several times about the body."
Police are questioning a man in connection with Nixon's murder.
Nixon was killed the day after former murder suspect Edward "Sin" Taylor, 44, was shot and killed on McQuay Street as he attempted to visit his family Wednesday night.
Rolle said that police have yet to establish the other murders last week with Taylor's killing.
Strachan said another shooting took place on Saturday afternoon when a man who had just left a relative's funeral was shot in the upper body.
He was walking along Quakoo Street when men driving a Toyota with a Commonwealth Drugs logo on it shot him.
It was unclear if that shooting had any connection to the others.
Strachan appealed for "peace on the streets" while police attempt to bring these matters to a close.
The murder count for 2014 now stands at 81, according to Guardian records.
