BROOKLYN – St Lucia’s leading goalscorer in the New York Caribbean Cup, Phillip Tisson, was shot dead early Monday morning, police have confirmed.
Reports said the 27-year-old had just finished celebrating his team’s 1-0 victory over St Kitts and Nevis when he was killed by an unidentified gunman a short distance from a club in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
The striker, who arrived in Brooklyn in May had scored five goals in the 2010 campaign. He also represented St Lucia’s national team during its recent World Cup campaign.
Police said the gunman opened fire on a car where Tisson and other passengers sat, a short distance from the Tropix nightclub on Carroll Street and Utica Avenue. (CMC)
