Rudolph 'Ruddy' Francis

A man was gunned at his Old Harbour home in Bowers last night.

Dead is 55-year-old taxi driver Rudolph Francis better known as ‘Ruddy’. 

Information reaching Old Harbour News is that at sometime around midnight, Francis was attacked as he drove up at his gate. 

While detectives are uncertain at this moment if there was more than one assailant, Old Harbour News has been reliably informed that Francis was shot at least four times in the upper body.  

A St Catherine South Police Scene Crime unit was summoned to the area and the customary forensic procedure conducted. Spent casings and blood samples were retrieved and sealed for further laboratory testing. 

Investigators say a motive is yet to be established. 

Investigation continues.
