A murder investigation has been launched into the death of a 63-year-old man who was gunned down at a George Town commercial complex.
The victim was found unresponsive at the scene on School Road with “what appeared to be a gunshot wound to his head”, according to a police press release Tuesday.
Police have not released the victim’s identity.
According to police, the body was found by police and emergency services responding to a 911 call around 8.30pm on Monday. He was taken to the Cayman Islands Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
