A robbery at a bar on Waltham Park Road, Kingston 11, resulted in the death of one of three thieves early yesterday morning.

The Hunts Bay police are reporting that about 2:30 a.m., three men brandishing guns held up the establishment.

After robbing the bartender and other customers of money and other valuables, a licensed firearm holder, who was in the bar, challenged the trio, fatally wounding one.

However, his accomplices escaped.

The deceased, an unidentified male, is of dark complexion, slim build and about 182 centimetres or six feet tall.

He was wearing gray jeans pants, a brown T-shirt and blue and white sneakers.

The investigations continue.
