Bermuda recorded its first murder so far this year when a 30-year-old man was gunned down late Friday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The police who released details on Sunday identified him as\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Taylor Grier, 30.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Grier died when he was gunned down in Hamilton late Friday by a gunman opened fire at the junction of Court Street and Elliott Street after arriving on a motorcycle with another person.<\/p>

A bystander told police that he did not see the shooting or suspects, but heard about six explosions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThis is deeply disturbing after a period of relative calm. We will make sure that we meet the violence with the appropriate force,\u201d said National Security Minister Wayne Caines said after arriving at the scene.<\/p>\n

Former Premier Michael Dunkley, the Shadow Minister of National Security, said he knew Grier as a constituent and friend, adding: \u201cWe were stunned, devastated and saddened to learn of another senseless murder.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The police also reported that a man has been detained\u00a0in connection with the shooting.<\/p>\n

They also rushed a 55-year-old man, who was also injured in the attack, however, his injuries are not life-threatening.<\/p>
