Truck driver shot dead near church yard in Westmoreland

Thirty-nine-year-old Ordel Salmon, a truck driver from Whitehouse in Westmoreland, was shot and killed while parking on a church compound in Gordon district in the parish, on Tuesday afternoon.

According to reports, about 5:30 p.m. Salmon, who resides in close proximity to the Whitehouse Church of God of Prophecy, drove his white Isuzu motor truck on to the church compound and was in the process of parking when a blue Toyota Axio motor car drove up.

A man reportedly jumped from the motor car and fired several shots at Salmon, who managed to run into his own yard, but was chased and shot multiple times.

Salmon died on the spot, while the gunman escaped in the waiting motor car.
