Assistant Commissioner David Mirfield & Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro - May I start by offering my sincere condolences to the family & friends of Mr. Leshore on behalf of the investigating team. At 8:30pm on Tuesday 1st March, 2011, Police Officers responded to 911 reports of a person having been shot at #9 Boundary Crescent, Devonshire parish.

A twenty six year old male whom I can now identify as Mr. Jahmiko Leshore, of Devonshire Parish [pictured below], suffered multiple gunshot wounds and subsequently succumbed to his injuries at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. Mr. Leshore leaves behind a pregnant girlfriend who is due to give birth in the near future, and numerous members of family and friends.

A full complement of detectives from the Bermuda Police Serious Crimes Unit is investigating this incident, and it is being considered as ‘Premeditated Murder’.
