The death of a 32-year old man is still under investigation. The police were able to identify the victim as Clinton Roderick Roasting. He was shot outside Rundle Heights house. Although the emergency team arrived, the man died despite efforts to revive him.
A man residing nearby attempted to perform CPR on the dying man along with other neighbors, before the arrival of the emergency team.
For family
According to Janelle Littlechild, a cousin of Roasting, the loss was a devastating ordeal for the family. She did not think that he would die.
Roasting has issues with the law but was hoping that he will turn his life around. Based on the court records, he spent time in jail for aggravated assault where he mistakenly stabbed a taxi driver after waking up and believed that he was kidnapped.
