The mother of Dario Jean-Luc Holder-Branch, who was gunned down near his home Wednesday evening is trying to get over the shock of her son’s violent death.In an interview at her Station Hill, St Michael home, Yolanda Capandeguy told Barbados TODAY that she accepted the fact her son has died, was not in denial and not too concerned about why he was shot.Instead, she said she was trying to focus on positive things, even though this was a “painful experience”.Police said the 32-year-old resident of 1st Avenue Godding Road, Station Hill St Michael –  a few metres away from the District ‘A’ Police Station – was shot several times a stone’s throw away from his home around 6:15 p.m. A half-hour later, he was pronounced dead by a doctor at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where he had been rushed by car.Capandeguy said she was at the home of her son’s father, who lived with Holder-Branch, when she heard gunshots rang out.Although she was in shock by the sudden turn of events, she said she tried to maintain a calm disposition.“I was at his dad’s house with his daughter, I didn’t bother to bring her by me,” Capandeguy said. “Jean-Luc came home just after 2 p.m. and we talked. He played with her, went on the phone and then he left the house. I guessed he went to a hangout by the tree. I dropped to sleep with her and got up when her granddad got home after 5:30 p.m. Then we heard the shots. At first, I thought somebody was knocking [on] the paling, then the dog started to bark. But then somebody came and shouted that Jean-Luc got shot,” she recalled. “I left the house, I asked if anyone called the ambulance and they said it would take too long to get here. I told them to let us try to stop the bleeding. He was shot more than once. He didn’t look distressed; he looked quite normal, as normal as one could be. His face wasn’t wring up.
