He said when the police arrived the body of a woman was found on the ground in blood with gunshot wounds.

Milton stated the victim is suspected to be a sex worker as the area is known for such activity.

"The police have been focusing on Seaboard Street, the usual place where sex workers gather, so they have moved to other areas to ply their trade."
