(Trinidad Express) A Princes Town man who was shot in both legs by police two months ago was found dead near his home on Tuesday.

Richardson was shot in the head.
His body was discovered near his Lothians Road home at around 1am.
His brother, Marlon Douglas, said Richardson posted a video to his Facebook page shortly before midnight. “He called the named of people involved in drugs and I think someone was waiting for him. He was on his way home when he was shot twice.”
Richardson lived downstairs his mother’s home.
“My mother and step father heard the shots and they thought it was fire crackers. Then some boys were walking on the road and saw my brother’s body. My brother not perfect but he was not a bad person,” he said.
