Latore Mackey
The Bahamas government has paid tribute to Latore Mackey, the former Deputy Director of the Bahamas Information Service (BIS) and Press Secretary to Prime Minister Perry Christie, who was shot and killed on Monday.
Foreign Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell said he was “saddened” by the murder, adding that Mackey, 37,on joining the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) worked “like a fish in water”.
“He carried out excellent work at the Bahamas Information Services and in the Office of the Prime Minister. He was the future of our party. Now we have lost him all too soon,” Mitchell said in a statement.
Media reports said Mackey was shot “multiple times in his government registered vehicle”.
Police are working on the theory that an argument inside a nearby club may have lead to the death of MacKey who was the owner of Blue Reef Sports Bar and Lounge in the capital.
