David was gunned down at his home late last week following an argument with two other men. The argument was allegedly over money – $100,000, which was owed to him by the two men.
Reports are the argument escalated, after which the two men allegedly left but later returned armed with guns.
They allegedly called out to the deceased telling him that they just wanted to talk, but upon approaching them, he was struck in the face.
David tried to retaliate, but was shot twice – once in his leg and once in the chest by the men.
He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The Police have since launched a manhunt for the two men, who, according to reports are both well-known to law enforcement.
