"My Augustine is known to police as may be affiliated with any gang or has got run-ins with the police or something like that?"
Sr. Supt Chester Williams - Commander, Eastern Division Southside
"As is customary for me, whenever a person is a victim of a crime I do not believe in disclosing their past or their affiliations. Because I do not think that their affiliations should be brought out just because they have become the victim of a crime. So I will not go into discussing his affiliations at this time."
Reporter
"Will it help you in solving the crime?"
Sr. Supt Chester Williams - Commander, Eastern Division Southside
"That is for our police consumption. Not for the public consumption."
Three shells were recovered from the scene.
