HAMILTON (Canada), July 13 (NNN-AGENCIES) — A Ghanaian woman based in Canada, Belinda Sarkodie, has been shot and killed by unknown assailants.
According to media reports, the Saturday incident occurred while she was waiting at a bus stop on Hamilton’s King Street. Belinda was reportedly checking herself in a mirror at the stop when she was shot in the head.
A man was also shot during the incident. He survived the shooting.
Investigators believe the male victim may have been the intended target, and that Belinda was an “innocent bystander tragically caught in the crossfire.”
Police say the suspect is a male with a medium build and brown hair, who was wearing a black t-shirt with a white design on the front and a large red letter “V” on the back at the time of the shooting.
He was also wearing blue shorts, dark socks, and dark shoes and was wearing a medical style mask, the news release said.
The shooting occurred blocks away from where crowds were enjoying a free Art Crawl festival.
As of the time this report was filed, Canadian police had cordoned off the crime scene. Reports also indicate that Belinda had no known family in Canada. — NNN-AGENCIES
