In a shocking turn of events on July 14th, three Diego Martin men, including a Coast Guard officer, were mercilessly gunned down in broad daylight in Cunupia. Dave Lyons, 24, Jah-Marley Goddard, 23, and an unidentified individual fell victim to a targeted attack as they were leaving Rituals/Pizza Boys on the Southern Main Road.
The violence erupted when a car collided with theirs, quickly followed by two gunmen emerging from the vehicle armed with large-calibre rifles. The assailants unleashed a barrage of bullets, fatally striking the trio. The chaos extended beyond the intended targets, with stray bullets causing mayhem at the scene as horrified witnesses sought shelter.
Details reveal that Lyons served as a member of the Coast Guard, underscoring the brazen nature of the attack. Meanwhile, Goddard’s prior association with law enforcement hinted at a potential motive linked to previous criminal activities.
Speculations suggest that Goddard was the primary focus of the attack, leaving the other victims as unfortunate casualties caught in the crossfire. Law enforcement is now on high alert, preparing for possible retaliatory violence in the aftermath of this brutal triple homicide.
