The iden­ti­ty of a man who was shot and thrown out of a speed­ing ve­hi­cle in Ari­ma, re­mained un­known up to late yes­ter­day.

Of­fi­cers from the North­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force re­ceived a re­port of a shoot­ing on Bal­sam Trace, near Mal­abar Ex­ten­sion at around 9.50 am and went to the scene where they found the body of a man on the road with a gun­shot wound.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the man had a charg­er cord around his neck and two plas­tic tie straps around his right hand. There were sev­er­al bruis­es on the body which po­lice said were like­ly caused by the im­pact when he was thrown from a car.
