Po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the killing of a 42-year-old man at his home along the East­ern Main Road, Va­len­cia Stretch, San­gre Grande, in the ear­ly hours of Good Fri­day.

Sher­man Lam­bkin, de­scribed as a state wit­ness in a pre­vi­ous mur­der in Va­len­cia, was shot dead around 2.45am.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, his wife was asleep when Lam­bkin ar­rived home and en­tered the house. As he went in­to the kitchen, a man kicked open the door and opened fire. She re­port­ed hear­ing sev­er­al loud ex­plo­sions and see­ing flash­es as Lam­bkin fell. The gun­man then stood over him and con­tin­ued shoot­ing be­fore flee­ing.
