(Trinidad Express) Gunmen showed no regard for the cries of four children to spare their father when they came after 30-year-old Akil Sutherland on Tuesday evening.
Sutherland, aka “Daddy Redz”, was gunned down near his home along Broome Street, La Puerta, Diego Martin.
At the time, his four children—aged eight, six, four and two—were at home.
Three men armed with firearms ran into Sutherland’s yard and confronted him.
Sutherland, seeing the gunmen, attempted to flee the scene and draw the gunmen away from his home and his children.
However, as he tried to jump over a concrete wall, his clothing got stuck on barbed wire, leaving him hanging helplessly.
The assailants jumped at the opportunity and gunned him down, within view of the children.
All the while, Sutherland’s four-year-old daughter was screaming for the gunmen to stop.
“Stop! Allyuh killing out my family! Stop! Daddy… daddy… daddy,” the child screamed.
