A 64-year-old man of Pleasantville Avenue was gunned down a stone’s throw away from his home, shortly after noon on Thursday.
Ronald McQueen, also known as “Chappy,” the father of six, was shot multiple times with an automatic rifle in a drive-by shooting.
Police found 26 spent shells at the scene of the murder.
Residents said he was born and bred in Pleasantville and had never been in any trouble with the law.
A neighbour said, “He was a good one. He never interfered with anybody. He liked to cuss, but the cursing was never directed at anyone. He would come out, drink a beer by the bar and go back inside.”
They believe that he was not the intended target, but was used to send a message to a relative.
Investigations are continuing.
