And while that 21 year old was killed in the city on Sunday, this morning, the body of a 23 year old was found in the forested areas surrounding Mahogany Heights.
At 6 am this morning police received information of a body lying on a footpath in near Mahogany Heights.
When they went there they found the body of 23 yr old Herman Garbutt lying at the junction of two paths. He had multiple gunshot wounds to the head and body.
Police found three expended 9 millimeter shells in the area.
Now the backstory to this killing is important.
Herman Garbutt was the uncle of Eyannie Nunez - and, reports were that he was the target when that 8 year old was shot as she slept in her home on September12th., 2010.
After that, their home was burnt down.
Since then, the report has been that he has been lying low in Mahogany Heights.
And while his family would not speak to us on camera, they told us that he did not appear to be in fear of his life on the days leading up to his murder. But they note that the footpath where he was found is located quite a distance from his home, where he lived with his girlfriend. A relative noted also that he was not found with his bike - and he would not normally go in the area of that feeder road.
