Rel­a­tives of 23-year-old Isa­iah John, who was gunned down in broad day­light at a bar in Pe­nal on Sun­day, in­sist­ed yes­ter­day that he was not the in­tend­ed tar­get.

John, a labour­er, was among sev­er­al pa­trons lim­ing at a bar next to Shan­ti­la’s Food Hut on La­choos Road around 2 pm, when a white Nis­san Ti­i­da pulled up. Gun­men got out the ve­hi­cle and opened fire. Po­lice said the sus­pects pur­sued John as he ran and fired more than 20 bul­lets. He was found bleed­ing un­der a gam­ing ma­chine.
