A 42-year-old Bel­mont man be­came this coun­try’s lat­est mur­der vic­tim af­ter he was gunned down while sit­ting in his car on Mon­day night.

Po­lice said Michael Dun­can, al­so known as “Don­key,” had parked his sil­ver Nis­san Almera in front of his home on Lu­cien Road, Bel­mont Val­ley Road, around 9:55 p.m. when he was shot mul­ti­ple times.

A rel­a­tive who was in­side the house at the time heard the gun­fire and, up­on check­ing, found Dun­can slumped in the dri­ver’s seat with sev­er­al gun­shot wounds.
