A Tucville businessman was taken into police custody after he opened fire on a vehicle that turned onto his bridge on Tuesday night, killing the driver and injuring his companion.
The police say they are investigating the murder of Colin Perreira, 25, an excavator operator of Kitty and the attempted murder of Gailann Chacon, 20.
The statement explained that according to the initial investigations, Perreira was driving a heavily tinted vehicle and his friend, Chacon, was in the passenger seat. Perreira was reportedly attempting to turn the vehicle around using the man’s bridge, when the man, who was in his yard at the time, drew his licensed handgun and discharged several rounds at the vehicle. Perreira and Chacon were hit about their bodies. The police were alerted and when they responded, the victims were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where Perreira was pronounced dead on arrival. Chacon was admitted in a critical condition.
