Victim: Jason Smith, 22.

Date and location of murder: May 1, 2011, Overview Hill, Pembroke.

Circumstances: Mr Smith, a lance corporal in the Royal Bermuda Regiment, was looking forward to returning to school, and was headed to a friend’s house after a night out socialising in Hamilton.

The group had attended a few establishments on an ordinary evening on the town.

Police could find no motive for what happened next, but Mr Smith may have been targeted by mistake.

There was no suggestion of any gang links, but police said they believed his murder was carried out by gang members.

The group had repaired to a residence on North Shore Road. Mr Smith had gone to his car, parked earlier in the night on Overview Hill, to retrieve belongings.

He was walking back alone at 3.50am when a masked gunman walked up from the direction of Mount Hill behind him, and shot him twice.
