Police in St Kitts and Nevis are investigating the murder of a 27-year-old man on Saturday night.
Theon Audain was shot at the junction of Wigley Avenue and Union Street on St Kitts at about 11.30pm.
Three people – described only as juveniles by police – have been taken into custody.
His death is the 22nd reported murder in the federation this year. The previous two years each saw 30 murders.
The incident happened after a carnival troupe had been launched.
“While there alone, someone or some persons fired several shots at him.,” said the Royal St Christopher and Nevis Police Force in a statement.
