The Gambia Police Force has arrested three suspects in connection with an alleged shooting incident at Envy Night Club in Fajara on Sunday (January 19).

Police said the victim, 28-year-old Muhammed Buari Mendy of Serrekunda, was socialising at the club when he was allegedly shot by the principal suspect, who fled the scene.

Following swift investigations, officers arrested Saliou Gaye, 26, of Fajara South, identified as the main suspect.

Two others — Abdou Faal, alleged to be an accomplice, and Karamo Saidy, suspected to be the custodian of the firearm — were also taken into custody.

Crime scene investigators recovered three empty cartridges at the scene, which were processed as evidence.

Subsequent operations led to the recovery of a Taurus pistol loaded with 10 live rounds of ammunition.

All three suspects have been cautioned and are currently in police custody to assist with ongoing investigations.

The police commended members of the public for their cooperation, which helped in the swift arrest of the suspects, and assured that a thorough investigation is underway to ensure justice is served.
