A MAN who escaped an attempt on his life on the night of March 6 was killed just hours later on the morning of March 7 when gunmen pulled alongside his car on the highway and unleashed a hail of bullets.
On the night of March 6, Richard ‘Mansion’ Mark, 32, of Petit Valley was in Trincity when gunmen opened fire on the car he was driving.
Mark was able to escape without any injuries and fled to an area nearby where he hid from his attackers.
He contacted someone from Petit Valley and asked them to pick him up at the location where he was hiding.
Two people in a Nissan Wingroad picked up Mark around midnight.
The trio left the area and was driving west along the Churchill Roosevelt Highway when a dark-coloured vehicle pulled alongside theirs near the Curepe Interchange.
The occupants of the car began shooting at the trio.
The driver of the bullet-riddled car sped away before stopping on the shoulder near the Bamboo Settlement walkover.
The driver and the front-seat passenger then exited the car and ran off as the suspects drove past them and turned south onto the Uriah Butler Highway.
Both men then ran across the highway to a police car parked near the Cipriani College of Labour & Co-operative Studies and told the officers what had happened.
Officers went with the men to the scene where they found the car with its back-seat passenger side riddled with bullet holes.
Mark was slumped over in the back seat with multiple gunshot injuries.
A district medical officer visited the scene and declared Mark dead before ordering his body to be removed to the Forensic Science Centre in St James for further examination.
Police told Newsday Mark was known to them and said his death is likely to be drug- and gang-related.
Investigations are continuing into the incident.

Critics have called it a stunt to invite sympathy. Yet Amuriat says campaigning without shoes is a protest and that those who do not get its symbolism are missing a point.
Uganda is due to hold a general election on January 14. Amuriat and another opposition candidate, Bobi Wine have had their rallies violently dispersed by security forces or been arrested.
In mid-November, scores of people were killed as security forces attempted to quell protests against the arrest and detention of Bobi Wine.
Police has accused the candidates of addressing huge gatherings in contravention of regulations on COVID-19 prevention.
Swollen feet
In an interview with one of the dailies in Uganda, Amuriat said his feet hurt a lot and has to pour cold water on them in between campaign stops for some relief.
Doctors have cautioned him on the potential danger of contracting tetanus from cuts to his feet.
Yet Amuriat remains adamant. He says by refusing to wear shoes, he’s standing in solidarity with people whose wealth and opportunities have been stolen by the country’s longtime ruler Yoweri Museveni.

A man suspected of being mentally unstable, who allegedly murdered a 12-year-old Gweru girl by stoning her on Tuesday was yesterday remanded in custody at Hwahwa Prison where he will be examined before his re-appearance in court. STEPHEN CHADENGA The man, who was only identified as Derick in court, struck Natasha Manunure, a Grade Seven pupil near her home in Mtapa suburb in Gweru. Gweru magistrate, Beuality Dube, had a tough time trying to make Derick understand why he was appearing in court as the accused started speaking inaudibly. The man even insisted before the court that he was not Derick, but Danisa, adding that Derick was the name of “a donkey at the market.” When he was told that he was going to be mentally examined before coming back to court he exclaimed in surprise, asking if it was going to be in Harare. The State counsel then made an application to have the accused mentally examined by two doctors before the magistrate granted the request and remanded the accused to December 23. Allegations are that Natasha was coming from school when accused struck her with a stone on the left ear leading to her falling down and dying on the spot. Natasha, of section 3, Mtapa, who was preparing for her exams, was walking home reading a question paper when she met her fate. The accused then fled from the scene but was caught by members of the public who handed him to the police. Derick, who usually roams the streets of Gweru is notorious for assaulting girls and women usually with stones and other objects that he picks on the streets.
