Shooting Victim Airlifted Overseas

The 24 year old gunshot victim injured in the shooting incident outside Gravity Nightclub – North Shore Road, Devonshire in the early hours of Saturday morning – has been airlifted to the United States for specialist surgery.

The young man suffered serious injuries when he was shot multiple times sometime between 3:15am & 3:25am.

Detectives are continuing their investigations into this matter. A number of witnesses have been interviewed and the scene has been forensically examined. CCTV footage from the area has also been seized and forms part of the enquiry.

Detectives are still keen to speak with the patrons of the Gravity Nightclub who were outside the club around the time the shooting occurred. It is not imperative that witnesses necessarily saw the incident, although clearly that is of special importance to the enquiry team. Persons that were in the area still may be able to assist in piecing together events as they unfolded.

It is important to reiterate that information received will be treated in strictest confidence, and measures are in place to assist with witness protection for persons that come forward to give evidence.

The Serious Crime Unit can be contacted on 247-1079 or the independent Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477.


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
