A man is struggling to stay alive after he was shot on San Pedro. 30 year old Dwayne Hyde was heading to his common law wife’s home this morning at around 12:30. But he wasn’t alone, he was being followed by 3 men. As soon as he got to the house, he saw the men in the yard. That is when Hyde and one of the men, who he knows as Luis ‘Wizz†Carter got into a fight. Carter drew his gun and shot Hyde in stomach but Hyde got a chance to grab a screwdriver and stabbed Carter 4 times. Today police told us what they know so far.
Insp. Fitzroy Yearwood - PR, Eastern Division North
"Something around 12:30 am Mr. Dwayne Hype ran home and he had to bang on his door because he was in hot pursuit by some persons that wanted to harm him. By the time his common law wife opened the door to their residence he was shot somewhere in the abdomen and he was transported to the KHMH where is undergoing treatment as we speak. How the stabbing came about we believe that one of his assailants was stabbed with a screwdriver. We cannot determine as yet who inflicted that wound to one of the assailants but we know that one of the person out of the 3 attackers was known to the victim and the common law."
Sources say that this incident was likely as a result of a drug deal gone wrong. Hyde, who is originally from Roaring Creek, is in a very critical condition at the KHMH. As for the alleged shooter, Carter, he has been treated for his stab wounds and is detained. He will be charged for attempted murder. One other person has also been detained. Island police say they couldn’t have solved the crime without the help of towns people who came forward with information.
