POLICE are searching for a man who was shot by an accomplice when they went to murder a Petit Valley businessman.
Police said the suspect was shot in the upper body by one of his two accomplices when they attacked the 53-year-old man on Tuesday night.
Edwin “Conqueror” Joseph of Cameron Road, Petit Valley was shot dead at Khalif and Chanel’s Mini Mart at Cameron Road, Petit Valley. Police said at around 7.45pm a white van pulled up in front of the shop and two gunmen ran in and started shooting at Joseph.
