(Trinidad Guardian) Three men and a woman were shot and killed in two separate incidents between Friday night and Saturday morning.
According to a police report, at about 4.30 am on Saturday gunmen ambushed a group of people near Building 9, Maloney Gardens, in the vicinity of Apartment 1-4 East and opened fire.
Three people died. They were identified as mother of one Jamila Chase, and two men—Michael “Grimey” Walker and Kareem “Critters” Mc Eachrane.
Preliminary investigations, according to police, revealed that the three were relatives of a person known to them and that the killings were gang-related.
A close friend of Chase, when contacted by Guardian Media, said her killing was a “shock.” She described Chase as a “beautiful person…this has hit me hard. She was like a sister from another mother. She was full of life and loved her son very much.”
Asked if they had any idea why someone would want to murder these people, the friend replied: “I don’t know, but it is just senseless and for no reason.
In an earlier incident, shortly before midnight, a 24-year-old man identified as Shiloh Collingwood was shot dead a stone’s throw away from his home at Bazzard Street, Monte Grande, Tunapuna.
A motive is yet to be determined for that killing.
