Dead: Romel Bollers
Preliminary investigations indicate that Bollers, a shopkeeper, left his residence at about 08:15h to feed pigs at Lot 166 Titus Street, Agricola where his family maintains livestock. Not long after, his sister reported hearing from residents in the area that Bollers had been shot.
Upon arriving at the scene, she discovered Bollers lying motionless on his back in front of one of the pig pens, with visible wounds and bleeding. Emergency responders from the Eccles Fire Station transported him to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
A subsequent examination of the body revealed suspected gunshot wounds to the right shoulder, abdomen, and right elbow. Investigators from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters processed the scene and recovered a single 9mm spent shell.
Bollers’ body has since been taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
Police have not yet identified a suspect or established a motive. Investigations remain ongoing.
