Relatives of murdered Diego Martin labourer Hakeem Baker are calling for stronger action to prevent further escalation of violent crime.
Police said Baker, 28, was leaving Sun Valley Extension, La Canoa Road, Santa Cruz, in his silver Nissan B14 at about 8.30 pm on Wednesday when he was ambushed by gunmen.
Investigators believe Baker drove into a ditch while trying to evade his attackers but was pursued as the gunmen continued firing at him. His body was later found slumped in the passenger-side seat, leading investigators to suspect he had attempted to escape the killers.
