Trinidad man wanted for ten murders killed by police

(Trinidad Guardian) A man, who was want­ed in con­nec­tion with ten mur­ders in­clud­ing Tues­day’s dou­ble mur­der of Mar­sha Joseph, 55, and her son, Shawn, 22, was killed in a po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing yesterday in San­ta Cruz.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 3 am, po­lice of­fi­cers act­ing on in­tel­li­gence re­ceived went to an area known as Span­ish Harlem, at La Canoa, where Col­lis “El Chapo” Brit­to lived.

Po­lice said while at­tempt­ing to de­tain him the of­fi­cers were shot at forc­ing them to re­turn fire.

Brit­to was tak­en to hos­pi­tal where he was pro­nounced dead on ar­rival.

Po­lice said Brit­to was the main sus­pect for at least ten mur­ders in the last two years.

Be­sides Tues­day’s dou­ble mur­der that oc­curred at about 4 pm at the cor­ner of Sad­dle Road and San­ta Cruz Old Road, Brit­to, po­lice said he was the main sus­pect in the mur­der of state wit­ness Can­dy Ann Mc In­tyre, who was gunned down af­ter at­tend­ing her son’s pri­ma­ry school grad­u­a­tion in June this year.

He was al­so a sus­pect in two oth­er un­re­lat­ed killings in which sev­en peo­ple al­to­geth­er were mur­dered.

How­ev­er, a close rel­a­tive has ex­pressed shock over the in­for­ma­tion re­leased by po­lice of­fi­cers and claimed that his name is Col­lis Mc Gloure and not Brit­to and al­so, the rel­a­tive said he was nev­er known as “El Chapo.”

The rel­a­tive said Mc Gloure was asleep with his child sleep­ing on his chest when the of­fi­cers al­leged­ly broke in­to his home and sur­round­ed his bed flash­ing bright lights on his face.

The child, who is less than two years old, was al­leged­ly grabbed by the feet and hung up­side down while po­lice al­leged­ly shot Mc Gloure while still ly­ing on his bed.

An­oth­er close fe­male rel­a­tive was said to be in the room when the al­leged in­ci­dent oc­curred.

Rel­a­tives strong­ly be­lieve that there are ul­te­ri­or mo­tives for po­lice claim­ing that he was the main sus­pect in ten mur­ders in­clud­ing Tues­day’s dou­ble mur­der. They be­lieve of­fi­cers are en­gaged in a pos­si­ble “cov­er-up” in an at­tempt to pro­tect the re­al killer or killers.

Rel­a­tives al­so claimed that Mc Gloure shared a close friend­ship with the Joseph fam­i­ly as they would drop his daugh­ter to school and said he would nev­er harm the fam­i­ly.

Griev­ing rel­a­tives said when the “time is right” they will go pub­lic with this mat­ter.
