And there were a pair of shootings in the city over the extended weekend. The first happened on Police street where a minor was targeted. Commander Williams gave us details:…
ACP. Chester Williams - Commander Southside
"One Christmas Day the police were called to Police street, that's in the St. Martins Depores Area where information was received of shots being fired. Upon responding they were informed that a victim has been transported to the hospital. We later learnt that victim to be one Phillip Elejio, he suffered gunshot wounds to the foot and was admitted in a stable condition. He was released from the hospital the following day which was the 26th and is currently at home recovering. The information is that two persons passed by on separate bicycles one of whom fired shots in the direction of the victim which caused the injuries."

"Sir do you all know what motivated this?"
ACP. Chester Williams - Commander Southside
"Well we are still trying to ascertain, the victim is a student at ACC and we have no information of him being involved in any gang activity and so we're still trying to find out if indeed he was the person who was the intended target."
