posted (October 2, 2017)
There were multiple shootings this weekend in which 6 people were injured, and one of them died. We'll tell you all about those incidents, but we start tonight with the breaking story of a late evening murder on the city's Southside. It happened near the La Croix Boulevard Area in an alley off Linda Vista and Police Streets. That's where Dorian Sutherland, was shot and killed.

Not much is known at this time, and our news team just returned from the scene after speaking to Assistant Superintendent Alejandro Cowo about the preliminary information they have:

ASP Alejandro Cowo, OC - CIB
"Information we received at about 5pm that a male person was shot at the La Croix Boulevard. As a result police proceeded to corner Linda Vista and Police Street and thereafter they were taken inside of a house at about 100 feet from Linda Vista where they observed the motionless body of Dorian Sutherland with gunshot wound to the body. All we can tell you at this moment is that he was somewhere at Linda Vista where they had an altercation with somebody and as a result an argument ensued and he end up being fatally shot."

"We have a suspect at this time, but I cannot reveal the name at this moment."

Reporter
"Can you reveal how many injuries he sustained where?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo, OC - CIB
"I cannot tell you exactly the amount of injuries but I know that there is more than one injuries to the body."

Reporter
"So he died in the spot?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo, OC - CIB
"Yes."

We'll have more on the murder tomorrow night.
