DOWN: Nigel “Bulls” Henry, shot and killed outside his home in Petit Valley on Sunday morning, is seen in this photo posted on social media. –
Police say there is no motive for the killing of Nigel Headley of Upper Simeon Road, Petit Valley.
Headley, 45, who was originally from Beverley Hills, Laventile, was shot on Sunday morning at his home.
When Newsday visited the area, his immediate family was too anxious to speak to reporters. Residents and family gathered along the sidewalk leading to his home. A men’s group described Headley as a mentor to young people in the community.
One man, who did not want to be named, said: “He was good, never at anything. He was like a father to a lot of people up here.”
A police report said that around 8:30 a.m., Headley was standing at the front door of his home when the incident occurred.
A relative who was in the back later told police he heard rapid gunshots and, during a search, found Headley bleeding on the ground and breathing. He died a few minutes later, before medical help could be received.
His body was taken to the Forensic Science Center in St James for an autopsy. As of press time, no arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing.
