The victim has been identified as Mickel Browne, of Champs Fleurs, Mt Dor.

Another man was wounded by a stray bullet to his lower back and remains in hospital.

Police said at about 8 pm, Browne was liming with an off-duty police officer near King Style Bar at the corner of Bridge Road and Eastern Main Road, San Juan.

A gunman approached from the side of Bridge Road and opened fire on the two men, hitting Browne several times before escaping.

Police were told the off-duty police officer ran after the shooter and fired a shot from his licensed gun, but the gunman escaped.

A bystander took Browne to the Eric Williams Medical Science Complex, Mt Hope, but he died from his injuries.

A nearby resident took them to the Chaguanas Health Facility, where Breedy died.

Crime scene investigators recovered six 9 mm spent shells and 20 5.56 mm spent shells while processing the scene.
