The gunmen then left the scene on foot.
While being rushed to the Cornwall Regional Hospital the vehicle transporting Miller crashed on Pelle Drive. He was then assisted by another motorist to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Meanwhile, the other murder was committed around the same time nearby on New Road in Flankers.
The deceased woman has been identified as 60-year-old Veronica Collins. Collins’ house was shot up by unknown assailants, when the shooting subsided her body was found on the ground.
