IN the heat of an argument on the roadside before dawn on October 24, near the Erin Fishing Depot, one man was heard boasting that he had a gun, and the other challenging him to use it.

Seconds later, Brian “Don” Baptiste, 55, was gunned down. The suspect, said to be originally from Moruga but living in the community, fled near the beachfront.

Residents said before the fatal shooting on Erin Beach Road, several gunshots had been fired into the air.
