A 43 year old Selvin Bahadur was gunned down and killed in front of his house on Jones Street, 1 year after his younger brother Micheal Lopez was killed in that same spot. It is very raw and wounding for the family as another loved ones'd blood is shed right at their front steps. It happened last night after 10:00 and Bahadur's mother and sister told us what they know.

"I was in my bed last night when my common-law-husband told me that he heard a gunshot."

"What time was this?"
Merleen King, Mother
"About 10:05pm and he said that it sounded close to the house and I told him to hurry get up and let us see who it is. When we open the door, we saw a police vehicle out there and my neighbor called to me and told me that it's your son out there on the ground. I said "oh my God, my next son by the same spot." I didn't believe it and so I ran out. I was on there on the street, then the police came around and my friends came to assist me. I never believe my son again they took away from me."

"So you've lost 2 sons now in the same spot?"
Merleen King, Mother
"I lost 2 sons in the same spot ma'am."

"You have any idea why anybody would want to kill him? Is it gang related? What exactly happened and why?"
Merleen King, Mother
"I don't know about that part, if he had anything with anybody, because he never come and tell me. I don't know if he had anything with anyone."
Courtney Weatherburne, 7News
"So why you think they target him? Do you believe he was the target?"
Voice of: Shelmadine Jones, Sister
"I don't believe he was the target, because he doesn't mess with people."
Police are also looking at this latest murder - which became the city's fifth for the weekend. Here's what they had to say about THE MAN WHO was riding his bicycle home when he was shot:...
ACP Chester Williams, Commander - Eastern Division South
"Selvin Bahadur was riding a bicycle on Jones Street, St. Martin's area, when he was approached by a lone gunman who fired two shots at him, one of which caught him to the head. He was taken to the KHMH and about an hour later he succumb to his injuries. The police are currently looking for one person of interest in respect that matter and we are hoping that that person will be caught today and we should be able to arrest and charge that person in respect to the murder of Mr. Bahadur."
Selvin Bahadur had three children.
