Pollard, a resident of Lot 44 James Street, West La Penitence, was killed at about 10.30 pm on Tuesday.
He was shot in the head.
The police had said enquiries revealed that a loud explosion similar to that of a gunshot was heard followed by persons screaming and running and Pollard was seen lying on the ground with a wound to his head.
