A 45-YEAR-OLD father of three was shot and killed at about 10 pm on Saturday at Roxborough Extension, Diego Martin. Police said Alvian Murray, of Braithwaite Street, Belmont, was found with multiple gun shot wounds about his body after residents reported hearing loud explosions in the area.

Marilyn Constantine, described her common-law husband as a quiet and friendly person who loved to go out and lime with his friends.

She said usually whenever Murray went out on Friday nights, he would not return home, but would go to Diego Martin instead to stay with relatives. She recalled that on Saturday night when he visited an aunt, he had an altercation with another man.

“They had a little scuffle and fists were flying. I don’t know what they were arguing about, but when it was over, they both walked down the road and jumped in separate maxis,” Constantine said.

She said a short while later relatives heard several gunshots, however they did not think much of it at the time. When eventually they did come outside, they found Murray’s bullet riddled body against a wall of the house.
