(Barbados Nation) A football tournament came to an abrupt end on New Year’s Night after a shooting incident left one man dead and another – up to late yesterday – fighting for his life. Two other men were also hospitalised with gunshot injuries.
Dead is 28-year-old Damien Omar Mitchell of Lower Burney, St Michael.
Mitchell was shot in the head after two men opened fire on a group of men watching an annual football tournament on the Victor “Gas” Clarke Playing Field in Carrington Village, St Michael.
An eyewitness told the DAILY NATION that Mitchell was pleading for his life, saying, “Don’t kill me,” before succumbing to his injuries.
