A 27-year-old man was shot dead on his job­site in Pleas­antville around mid­day yes­ter­day.

The vic­tim was iden­ti­fied as Ka­reem Williams, of Par­force Road, Bonne Aven­ture Road, Gas­par­il­lo.

Po­lice said Williams, a labour­er, was at­tacked at a con­struc­tion site he was work­ing at along Ma­hogany Dri­ve in Pleas­antville.

They said Williams was sit­ting on a buck­et when a sil­ver Aqua stopped. A male oc­cu­pant, wear­ing a face mask and dark cloth­ing, came out the car and fired sev­er­al shots at Williams, who col­lapsed in a makeshift struc­ture.

Of­fi­cers of the South­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force re­spond­ed and took him to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal, where he was pro­nounced dead on ar­rival.

Homi­cide de­tec­tives did not im­me­di­ate­ly dis­close a mo­tive for his killing. Homi­cide Re­gion 3 of­fi­cers are in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
