An 18-year-old youth of Albouystown was gunned down this morning at a street football game in the community.
Details of the shooting incident are unclear.
The dead young man has been identified as Christopher Mansfield aka “Gully Bop”. His mother broke down in tears at the Georgetown Hospital as doctors announced the man’s death to her.
The woman said the incident occurred around 6:45 this morning. She said her son left his Barr Street home for his regular Sunday morning break just after waking up and moments later she received the news that he had been shot.
“I got to get justice for my son. Owww is every Sunday he does go out and play he football and he wake up this morning, brush he teeth and said he going and play football. Next thing a rasta man come riding telling me that me son just get shot. I got to get justice for Christopher”, she said.
A number of other family members gathered outside the Emergency Room and broke down in tears after seeing the youth’s lifeless body. He was shot at least two times the chest.
Investigators are probing the shooting.
