Ma­sud Pros­per, 49, a dri­ver at­tached to the Min­istry of Health, was shot sev­er­al times as he sat in his black Lancer car, which was parked along the area re­ferred to as the “Drag.”

Al­though the in­ci­dent around 5.30 pm forced some peo­ple to aban­don their dai­ly ex­er­cise rou­tines, many oth­ers con­tin­ued as nor­mal, with food ven­dors al­so con­duct­ing the usu­al sales.
