Police in The Bahamas are investigating the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old man near the entrance to Potter’s Cay Dock in Nassau, following an incident reported shortly before 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 13.

According to preliminary police information, the victim was travelling in a white SUV with two other men along East Bay Street when a blue vehicle reportedly pulled alongside them near the dock entrance.
