A cigarette delivery driver was shot dead on July 3 during what appeared to be a robbery gone wrong.
Initial reports say Che Mendez and an unnamed security guard were delivering cigarettes to shops in St Ann’s when two armed men held them up around 11.45 am.
The men tied their hands, forced them into the truck and drove to River Road, Fondes Amandes, St Ann’s.
While there, the bandits shot Mendez and the guard before driving off in the truck filled with cigarettes.
Mendez died at the scene. The security guard was injured and taken to hospital.
Police found the stolen truck abandoned a few hours later.
When Newsday arrived, police were standing at the entrance to the street, which was cordoned off with caution tape, as residents complained about being denied access to their homes.
