Weeks be­fore his mur­der, Ki­mo Nar­cist warned his moth­er that some­one want­ed him dead.

On Sun­day night, that fear be­came a re­al­i­ty. Now, three young chil­dren, aged four, three, and just sev­en months, are left with­out their fa­ther. As Gem­ma Nar­cist cra­dled her grand­chil­dren at their Clax­ton Bay home yes­ter­day, she said that al­though she had tried to pre­pare her­self, she nev­er ex­pect­ed her son’s death to come so soon.

Nar­cist, 37, the pro­pri­etor of Bar Code along Soledad Road West, was shot and killed while at his busi­ness place on Sun­day night. Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, he was stand­ing in the kitchen area of a food hut at the front of the bar around 11.30 pm when a ve­hi­cle pulled up. A man stepped out, walked di­rect­ly to the kitchen and shot Nar­cist in the head. As he col­lapsed, the gun­man fled back to the ve­hi­cle, which sped off.
