A MARACAS VALLEY, St Joseph, man who had been acquitted of a 2020 double murder and released earlier this month was ambushed, shot and killed yesterday afternoon near his home.

Police said that around 5.30 p.m. Warren Small, also known as “Quincy” and “Blacks”, was liming near a bar in the La Sieva, Maracas Valley, area when a suspect walked up to him and opened fire. The shooter then fled.

Small sustained multiple gunshots to his head and chest and was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope by relatives where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
