The ex-cop was reportedly working at the club this morning when he was shot and was later pronounced dead after being rushed to a hospital.
The authorities are reportedly currently at MECA searching for clues as the St. Andrew Central Police continue their investigation into the murder.
A motive for the murder has not been established. However, the incident’s closeness to a massive brawl that broke out at the venue over the weekend that went viral online has sparked rumours that the two are related.
