Fruit vendor Junior Ville Blair was shot multiple times on Saturday night at his home in the presence of his girlfriend by men who robbed her of jewelry valued at thousands of dollars.

During the robbery, one of the men told his accomplices to spare her life. They then shot Blair.

The 25-year-old, also known as Boyie, was at his Tenth Street, Techier Village, Point Fortin, home with his girlfriend on Saturday. Around 11.45 p.m. while they were both awake, they heard banging on the front door of the one-bedroom house. Three men entered and demanded money and gold.
