Surrendered: Osafo Grundall
Reports are that Christopher had left home about 01:15h in the company of a friend to attend the party. However, about 06:00h, two to three loud explosions suspected to be gunshots were heard, causing the crowd of about 500 to disperse.
At the time of the shooting, a DJ and selector were providing their services at the party, but were later informed that someone had been shot. As such, they reportedly stopped the party, packed up their equipment, and left.
The Police stated that a taxi driver passing along Mandela Avenue at the time was stopped by three males carrying the injured man, who was bleeding from a wound to his abdomen.
Dead: Dale Christopher
Christopher was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Upon examination, a single gunshot wound was seen at the centre of his abdomen. His body was taken to the hospital mortuary to await a post-mortem.
