The Grange Hill Football Club of Westmoreland was yesterday plunged into mourning following the shooting death of their President, 42-year-old Chef and Taxi Operator, Wayne Brown.
Reports are that Brown, who resides at Three Miles River, Georges Plain in the parish, was at his Cook Shop along Mint Road in Grange Hill when at about 12:45 am unknown assailants robbed him of an undetermined sum of money. They shot him numerous times before escaping.
A friend who heard the gunshots and Brown's cry for help ran to his assistance and found him lying face down between two board houses. When the police arrived, they found Brown's lifeless body with multiple gunshot wounds. The body was removed to Doyley's Funeral Service for post-mortem.
"Wayne was a humble, easy-going person who got on well with everyone," recalled Devon Maxwell, Assistant Secretary of the Westmoreland Football Association and Competitions Committee of both the WFA and Western Confed. "I have been associated with him from the late 1980s when he attended Mannings School."
Grange Hill FC, of which Brown was President for less than a year, will contest the Western Confed Super League in the 2008 - 2009 season.
