A 24-year-old woman was fatally shot, and her three-year-old son injured, during an early morning attack in the Pond district adjoining the upscale community of Marlie Mount, Old Harbour.
The victim, identified as Dajahnae Wright, was at home when assailants knocked on her door around 4:45 a.m., shouting “police!” Upon opening the door, she was met with a hail of gunfire, sustaining multiple wounds to her upper body. She died at the scene.
Her young son was shot in the leg and rushed to the hospital. Authorities confirm his injuries are not life-threatening.
Investigators believe Wright’s boyfriend was the intended target but was not present during the attack. Crime scene personnel recovered six spent casings, two damaged bullets, and a live round at the location.
The police are continuing their investigation.
