“On Tuesday, December 27th, sometime around 1:45 a.m., police visited a scene at 11 Pitter Street whereupon entering a wooden home, structure home, they saw the body of Lindon Hinds, thirty years old, with apparent gunshot wounds. Initial investigation revealed that Mr. Hinds was at home when he heard shouting and knocking on his front door, a voice saying “Police!” He then opened the front door where the assailant immediately fired several shots in his direction, causing his fatal injuries. He was transported to the KHMH where he was pronounced dead by a medical officer at 3:55 a.m. We haven’t established the true motive as yet, so we wouldn’t want to say at this early point in the investigation what we believe. What we will do and we have done already is put measures into place as to stop any retaliation from his group. Like I said, at this time we do not know the true identity of the assailant, but we have everything in place to prevent any form of retaliation.”
