And finally for tonight, we report on the shooting incident in which a BDF soldier seems to have been the intended target. At around 7:30 pm on Saturday, a mere 2 hours after Malcolm Wagner was killed, 23-year-old Carlton Augustine was socializing with 4 friends in a yard on Curl Thompson Street when a man ambushed the crowd and fired gunshots at them.
Augustine was struck by 2 of those bullets, and today investigators told the media why out of the 5 men, they believe that he was the man the shooter intend to hurt:
Sgt. Ismael Westby, NCO-CIB, Precinct 2
