A TEENAGER shot five times on Saturday was alive and responsive before the ambulance carrying him to hospital collided with another vehicle at the traffic light at Shirley Street and Hawkins Hill, The Tribune understands.

The crash was captured in a video now circulating online.

The man, whom police said was 18, ultimately died after the 4pm shooting on Saturday.

Police said officers were called to Sutton Street, off Kemp Road, where they found the teen suffering from apparent gunshot injuries. Emergency Medical Services began transporting him to hospital.

Police said preliminary investigations suggest the teen had been in the area of a nearby cemetery when the occupants of a grey vehicle opened fire in his direction before speeding off.

While police have not publicly addressed the transport crash, the video circulating online shows the ambulance carrying the victim colliding with an SUV at the intersection, raising questions about the sequence of events and the teen’s condition at the time of impact. 

Police said four people — two men, aged 31 and 22, and two women, aged 29 and 22 — have been arrested in connection with the shooting.
