On Tuesday afternoon, police said they were moving their investigation from attempted murder to murder in the shooting of Mark Williams, a 31-year-old vendor from New Montrose.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the victim was at a shop in Old Montrose/Block 2000 when a masked man approached him with a gun and started to fire shots.
As a result, Mr. Williams received several shots in his abdomen. He was rushed to Milton Cato Memorial Hospital for medical attention.
The St. Vincent Times understands that Williams died on Monday night. Williams death brings the murder toll to 39 so far for 2023.
