Dave Boyce, a former policeman, was shot just before last night at the junction of School Lane and Train Line, Halls Road, St Michael.
Boyce, a resident of the Pine, St Michael was with friends when gunfire erupted, reportedly between two young men, that sent everyone, including children, scampering for cover. When the shooting was over residents realized that Boyce had a gunshot wound to the chest.
“That gunshot looked like it was inches from his heart,” said one witness who preferred to remain anonymous.
