Police in Linden are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of a 56-year-old food vendor, Nigel Somersall, from the Wismar Housing Scheme and West Watooka.

According to reports, Somersall was ambushed and gunned down around 3:40 AM on Monday morning while heading home.

His body was discovered by a cousin lying motionless next to his motorcycle at his farm.
