Roxanne Burnham Gardens businessman shot in neck

A fifty-two-year-old businessman is now a patient at a city hospital where he is nursing a gunshot wound to the neck following a shooting at his Roxanne Burnham Gardens residence.

The injured man has been identified as Floyd Dewsbury.

According to regional commander of Region Four ‘A’, Simon McBean, the businessman was in the front of his yard chatting with a friend when he was approached by two men on a motorcycle, one of whom was armed with a gun.

It was reported that the pillion rider dismounted from the motorcycle asking Dewsbury whether he was the uncle of someone called ‘Tony’ after which he pulled out a gun and discharged several rounds in the direction of the businessman who was carrying his gun on him at the time and returned fire. It was sometime during the incident that Dewsbury was injured.

The men who came with the motorcycle then fled leaving their transportation behind in the process. It could not be ascertained whether any of the men was injured in the process. The motorcycle bearing registration CK 5080 is currently at the police station.

No one has yet been arrested. McBean noted that a CCTV camera in the vicinity was downloaded and was currently being viewed. He was unable to say whether the incident was caught on camera.

Dewsbury’s condition is listed as stable. Investigations are ongoing.
