NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The country’s murder count climbed overnight after a former Democratic National Alliance candidate was gunned down while working an event in the quiet Fort Charlotte community early this morning.

Police say the incident happened around 2:30 a.m., and ShotSpotter technology detected the deadly gunfire in the area of Marcus within the Fort Charlotte community.

Just days before Christmas, Mario “Ducky” Lockhart was gunned down while working an event early Monday morning.

Officers arrived at the scene before 3 a.m., where they found an unresponsive man suffering from gunshot wounds.

Emergency Medical Services were called and pronounced him dead.

Today, one of Lockhart’s brothers spoke at the Family of All Murder Victims headquarters in Nassau Village. He asked to remain anonymous.

During an emotional interview, he spoke about the bond he shared with his younger brother.

“He born September the 22nd, I born September the 24th. My mudda have seven children. And me and him two days apart and two years old. I love my brother.”

Police say witnesses told investigators the victim was approached by a gunman wearing dark clothing and a ski mask.

The gunman opened fire before running from the scene, fatally wounding the victim.

Family of All Murdered Victims CEO Khandi Gibson says Lockhart was well-known in the Nassau Village community and regularly assisted at the organization’s headquarters.

“I think he’s one of my favorite people. A very good human. A very nice person. If you ask me, he’s a community builder. He helps. He gives. He’s not a mean person.”

Gibson also issued a plea for an end to the violence.

“Ain’t nobody born they son for they son to get gunned down. Ain’t nobody have siblings for them to come take they siblings’ life. This is very senseless in our country, and it has to stop.”
