Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered Glenville “Guma” Sylvester Isles, age fifty-six (56), lying on the ground in front of Spotlight Bar with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head.  Preliminary investigations indicate that Mr Isles was seated inside the establishment when an unknown assailant approached and fired a single shot before fleeing the area. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
