Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro - At about 9pm on Wednesday 23rd January, 2013, the Bermuda Police Service received 911 calls of two men having been shot inside the Belvin's grocery store located on Happy Valley Road, Pembroke.

I can formally confirm that both men succumbed to their injuries as indicated last night by Superintendent Field-Lament and the two victims in this crime are:-

Haile A. Outerbridge – 34 years old of Pembroke Parish.

Ricco Furbert – 25 years old of Pembroke Parish.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere condolences to the friends & family of both Mr. Furbert & Mr. Outerbridge.

An armed response unit was the first unit to arrive within a very short time of the first 911 call. The two men were found at the rear of the premises suffering from what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds. First aid was administered to the men, and EMTs from the hospital also attended and took the men under their care and to the hospital.

Both men succumbed to their injuries.

A full complement of detectives from the Bermuda Police Serious Crimes Unit is investigating this incident, and it is being considered as premeditated murder.

Forensic crime scene examiners & detectives continue their examination of the evidence gathered from the scene and speaking with witnesses.

The enquiry team is anxious to speak with anyone in the Curving Avenue, Happy Valley Road area between 8:50pm & 9:10pm that may have seen a group of men travelling on 2 - 3 motorcycles. These men would have travelled from Curving Avenue onto Happy Valley Road, and following the shooting at about 9:04pm, they travelled east along Happy Valley Road in the direction of Shelton Road, Deepdale, or Montpelier Road.

One of the men in the convoy of three bikes is known to have chased one of the victims into the store. The gunman is wearing a full face black crash helmet with a tinted visor, and a full length blue rain suit.

Someone in the community knows the identity of this gunman. This gunman came home to a family member, friend or other relative.

There are people in the community who are harbouring these murderers, enabling this activity, and know who they are.

I am appealing to anyone in the community that believes that this senseless killing must stop to come forward immediately and assist the Police to bring these killers to justice.

The police have consistently demonstrated in recent court cases that we can, and will bring criminals to justice when we have the cooperation of the community, and specifically people that are brave enough to make a difference.

Anyone that can assist to take these killers out of circulation to bring them to justice & prevent future loss of lives is urged to call the Serious Crime Unit and help us to help the community.

The Serious Crime Unit can be contacted on 247-1739 & 247-1340 or on the confidential & independent Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477 (TIPS).
