Linden businesswoman fatally shot by bandit, son injured

At about 1930h. today, businesswoman Shevon Gordon, 45 years, of Block 22, Wismar, and her husband Elon Gordon, 48 years, were about to enter their home in their vehicle when two men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, confronted Shevon Gordon who was out of the vehicle.

The police say that the men demanded a bag with cash that Shevon Gordon had in her possession and she resisted and was shot to her body. The men then took away the bag and ran away.

They were pursued by Elon Gordon and his son Devon Gordon, 23 years. Devon Gordon managed to catch up with the perpetrators and a scuffle ensued during which he was shot to his left thigh and the men then escaped with the bag and money, police say

Shevon Gordon and Devon Gordon were taken to the Mackenzie Hospital where Shevon Gordon was pronounced DOA. Devon Gordon has been admitted to hospital for medical treatment.
