“We have opened a Major Incident Room investigation, staffed by Detectives from the Serious Crime Unit. We are urgently seeking to speak with witnesses or persons who may know anything about the murder of Mr. Outerbridge.
“Shortly after this incident being reported to Police, 911 received calls about a serious motorcycle collision on Middle Road, Warwick, near the entrance with Belmont. Two motorcycles had collided head-on, with both riders having sustained serious injuries. On arrival at the hospital, one of the riders a 44-year-old male was found to have suffered gunshot wounds to his torso.
“Detectives are examining the possibility that the two matters are linked, given the proximity, timing, and circumstances of both.
“We are grateful to those persons who spoke with us at the scene, and since that time, but we still urgently need to speak with other persons who can assist.
“The Bermuda Police Service has mobilized significant resources to provide visible uniform reassurance in the area, and to investigate the murder of Mr. Outerbridge, as well as the shooting of the second man.
“As we have often stated, we rely on the public to help us solve crimes and bring offenders to justice.

“As always, if you know something, say something.”

“The One Bermuda Alliance urges anyone with any information that could assist the Bermuda Police Service to contact them or reach out to Crime Stoppers, which is confidential, on 804-8477.
“All too often horrific and very tragic murders have sadly ruined the lives of family, and their friends, throughout our community. The pain is deep and it never wanes. We must do all we can to bring the perpetrators to justice and stem the tide of tragedy. We must speak and help!
“May the Lord provide the Outerbridge family comfort and strength during this difficult time. Let us all remember them in our prayers.”
