(Trinidad Guardian) High-powered weapons were used in the killing of an employee of the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) at La Horquetta yesterday morning.
The victim has been identified as Kevon Robinson, 31, of Phase 7.
According to a police report, at about 1.30 am Robinson was on his way to his home when he was ambushed by gunmen who shot him several times. Robinson died on the scene.
Police said that they are bracing for reprisals as an alleged “war” is brewing between members of the community at Phase 5 and Phase 7.
A relative of Robinson said his family is hurting. “I feel helpless but not hopeless, the community is in pain and shattered.’
Meanwhile, T&T Coast Guard divers have retrieved the body of a man at Chaguaramas.
