Two men shot outside 7MB bar, one critical
(CNS): Police are appealing for witnesses to a shooting Friday night outside the Jungle bar on the West Bay Road, near Seven Mile Public Beach. Around 10:50pm on 9 June, a masked man approached two men standing outside the bar. The culprit brandished a gun and opened fire on them, shooting one in the neck and leaving the other with multiple wounds, police said.
The man who was shot in the neck was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle. Police said his wound appears to be non-life-threatening.
When the armed officers arrived at the scene, they found the man with multiple wounds and rendered first aid until the emergency medical personnel arrived. He was taken by ambulance to hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Police gave no other details about what might have preceded the shooting or any description of the gunman.

Random fun fact: ordering 1 of everything on the Mykonos (restaurant next door to this place) drinks menu will set you back a lil 2.48 million KYD, not including grats.
Don’t believe me? Do the math yourself. I was bored and curious.
You forgot the automatic 20% gratuity.
Lol Kim lund and Fraiser must be scrambling to get a D9 dozer through Trafalgar place ….regardless, here’s to hoping clueless overseas buyers don’t read local news!
Can we just go ahead and finally close this ghetto place? This is probably the 25th time this has happened there.
That whole plaza looks like it belongs more on Eastern Ave or Shedden Rd than WBR
They will just find a new hole.
Mind blowing that misguided or perhaps demented or both cause individuals to do this in such a prosperous country filled with opportunities if one had drive and worked hard.
Government should implement mandatory grade schoolers to do two years exchange program to other countries to give them perspective on how much they take for granted living in prosperous Cayman Islands. Perhaps exchange programs time in Honduras, Venezuela, Detroit USA and Somalia would make them eager beavers upon return back in Cayman.
Surprisingly good comment and hits the nail on the head. There are no excuses (zero) for any Caymanian on this Island to not succeed short of Medical issues (disabilities etc). If you are a healthy person on these Islands and you are struggling to beat out Jamaicans, Filipinos etc for jobs then you need to look in the mirror, or more accurately at your parents that failed you.
Being Caymanian is such an advantage that I am sincerely struggling to think of a bigger leg up in the world without being the son / daughter of a despot in the 3rd world, a billionaire in the 1st world or something like that.
If you manage to balls up being Caymanian then may god save your soul, because he is all that’s left for you.
Love this comment! Absolutely spot on! I can never understand why some Caymanian young men and women adopt this ghetto mentality and lifestyle. Out of approx. 80,000 full time residents, how many are Caymanians at the age where people look for scholarships, education grants, etc. for high school and university, or looking for internships or vocational programs? Probably a couple thousand a year? We’re probably the smallest country on earth that has all four Big Four accounting firms represented. They’re throwing money for scholarships at Caymanians. Global law firms are headquartered here. They too are throwing money for scholarships at Caymanians. We have a thriving tourism industry. A burgeoning medical tourism sector. Even Dart doles out scholarships, grants, internships, etc. Government scholarships for high school, university, vocational training. Every single Caymanian of age should be taking advantage of these programs. Many do, mind you. But I’m speaking specifically to the ones that embrace the gangbanger lifestyle. The ones that live down to society’s expectations of them. You’re a fool if you’re Caymanian, able of body and mind, and still feel like you have no opportunities here. What it takes is effort on your part. Not a little effort. Enough effort to get it done! You just have to WANT it enough!
Sound about time to shut this rat nest down with where the troublemakers want to hide like cockroach.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes i guess.
I think the name says it all – The Jungle!
Imagine the folks in Watermark watching all that from their multi-million dollar condos eating their foie gras. I suspect the landlord might be in for an offer they can’t refuse.
Never a better time to buy!
Landlords light up your parking areas properly if you do not want bad acts to happen on YOUR property.
LED lights are inexpensive and bright.
Yeh cuz floodlights stop bullets
So,it seems that two people were shot and they’re likely going to survive.
If I’m getting shot, unless it’s a very obvious random attack, I’m knowing either why, or who it was shooting. Let’s see how well they’re able to convey to the police these things.
I’m guessing silence, followed by more shootings.
Right across the street from multi-million dollar beachfront condos, and right next door to the most expensive restaurant Cayman has ever seen. If some of the wealthy expats and foreigners start demanding an end to this current plague of gun related violence, maybe now RCIPS will get off its butt and do something about.
Not likely as it is a civil matter!
where these so called wealthy expats come from violence is worst, I agree that the violence needs to stop but not because of an expensive restaurant an entitled expats who care nothing about the Cayman islands, It needs to stop so we can all live in peace!!
The CIG and RCIPS never listen to the wealthy expats and foreigners as they are simply driftwood in the Cayman Islands, on matters like this.
We are on the road to becoming a smaller Jamaica.
Sad but true.
Import Jamaica and then you get…?
Wha? Unna tinks it was jus cheap labor an patty?
all locals involved.
Maybe locals but acting like they’re in Tivoli Gardens
Wannabee gangsters.
All ego, little substance.
With absent fathers from?
With inept teachers from?
With incompetent social service intervention from?
Applying standards of acceptable behavior from?
With a violent musical culture from?
This is what we want, cheap labor to fund the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Wait till Honorable Kenny and Ms Rosa get that new private jet terminal built. I hope the comments those two made on Radio Cayman are save so they can be played over and over.
And yet, Caymanians fill the prisons.
Why is automatically assumed that Jamaicans did it? If I’m not mistaken a majority of these shootings were done by Caymanians.
Thats tradition, bobo. Blame Jamiacans for crime and taking jobs, blame Filipinos for taking all the nanny jobs, blame expats for filling positions they arent qualified for.
Entitlement mindset never dies.
Eat too much oxtail, get fat and blame Latinas for stealing your man
Absolutely. A minimal bit of research on the internet shows the victims and offenders for the vast majority of the murders/shootings in recent years are Caymanians. It’s always easier to blame someone else to fit a narrative but he who be without sin cast the first stone.
They might technically be “Caymanians”, but I’d bet a lot of you commenting here don’t consider Mexicans born in America to be real “Americans” or Pakistanis born in England to be “English”. Just saying.
In other words, good Caymanians until they do crimes, then they are Jamaicans.
Got it.
A lot of people are stupid
Ummm, a foreign National born in Cayman is NOT Caymanian. We do not have birthright citizenship here. If you are not born Caymanian you have to become Caymanian.
You are not a country.
Correct. I am a human.
