A violent fatal shooting has shaken the quiet community of South Oropouche, after a local man was gunned down in his own residence mere minutes after arriving home on Thursday night.
The victim has been identified as 32-year-old Dillon Bunsee, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head and neck, and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a local medical facility for emergency care.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that the incident unfolded shortly after 11 p.m., when Bunsee was waiting in the garage of his Warden Street home when an unidentified gunman approached and opened fire. Immediately after the attack, the shooter fled the scene on foot and remains at large as of the latest updates.
Pictures from the crime scene confirm the location of the attack at Bunsee’s residential property, captured by photojournalist Dexter Philip. First responding law enforcement officers placed the bleeding victim in the rear tray of a police pickup truck to rush him for care. Disturbing on-scene accounts detail the moments that followed: as Bunsee lay bleeding out, his heartbroken mother was able to reach her son, touching his bloodied and swollen head as she cried out, ‘Dillon, mammy talking to you.’ Another bystander can be heard desperately pleading with officers to hurry the victim to care, begging ‘carry him to the hospital now nah, please.’
Bunsee was ultimately transported to San Fernando General Hospital, where he passed away while medical teams worked to treat his life-threatening injuries. Local law enforcement has not yet released additional details on potential motives for the shooting or updates on the manhunt for the perpetrator as the investigation continues.
