Shortly after the shooting, the suspect fled the scene in a car with two other persons inside the vehicle.
The Gendarmes said they have identified the suspect and they issued an international warrant for his arrest as they began a judiciary investigation. The judiciary police arrested the two other persons that were in the vehicle when the suspect fled but they were subsequently released. The victim Peterson Cuffy succumbed to his injuries at the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital shorting after he was shot in the center of Sandy Ground.
