One man is dead following a brazen shooting on Sunday afternoon in Vieux Fort.
Officers from the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force are actively investigating leads that may lead to solving the latest homicide on the island.
The shooting occurred on New Dock Lane at approximately12:20 pm.
Amateur photos of a man lying motionless in a pool of blood on a concrete sidewalk quickly made its way on popular social media and messaging platforms.
Speculation has been rife as to the identity of the individual and the connection of the murder, to an alleged ongoing gang feud within the community.
The Royal Saint Lucia Police has not yet confirmed the identity of the deceased or his official place of residence.
