Food vendor, 56, shot outside Linden house

Fifty-six-year-old Nigel Somersoll is now dead after he was reportedly attacked outside his West Watooka, Linden house early Monday morning.

The incident unfolded at around 02:30hrs.

Reports are that Somersoll’s cousin related to the Police that she was on her bed when she heard the gunshots.

She later heard a motorbike riding away.

Because she was fearful, the News Room understands that the woman hid under her bed while she tried to contact Somersoll on his phone. However, the calls went unanswered.

The woman told investigators that she observed Somersoll’s body lying face down in the yard sometime later, when she exited the house.

She immediately alerted neighbours who called the Police.

Somersoll’s body was examined and there was one suspected gunshot wound to his chest and what appeared to be a laceration to his head.

He was taken to the Linden Hospital Complex where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

In September 2022, Somersoll was shot and injured during a misunderstanding.
