(Trinidad Express) The chief executive of a small company which recovers vehicles using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology was shot on Friday night and later died at the Port of Spain General Hospital.
Rawle Francis, 38, was the CEO of GPS Experts and, according to the police, around 10.45 p.m. on Friday he and his girlfriend, Rachel Chase, were returning to his car that had been parked along Jerningham Avenue, Belmont, after just having purchased corn soup from the food-vending area at Queen’s Park East.
Police said a masked gunman walked up to Francis and opened fire, hitting him several times, before running off.
Francis’s girlfriend got into the driver’s seat of his car and took him to the Port of Spain General Hospital nearby. He was immediately treated, but at 4.30 a.m. Francis succumbed to his injuries.
