“Dappa” was at the popular Philo’s night club in Questelles when he was shot at around 3:10 last Monday Morning by an unknown assailant. The 34-year-old was rushed to hospital but succumbed to his injuries.

“He looked after his mother, nieces and nephews,” said one aunt.

Burgin’s younger sister, schoolteacher Karen Burgin described her brother as a fun loving person whom she would miss very much.

“I am just trying to hold on and be strong, what I go do he done dead,” said Evelyn, his mother.
