(Trinidad Express) – A suspected gang leader was among three people who were shot and killed in separate incidents in Diego Martin, Laventille and Port of Spain between Friday night and Saturday morning.
Dead is Sherman Hinds, who was said to be the leader of the Unity Road, Rich Plain gang.
His death and that of 44-year-old Marvin Scott and Nathan Thomas have taken the country’s murder toll for the year so far to 320 compared to 215 for the corresponding period last year.
Hinds was shot dead around 7 p.m., during what was said to have been a shootout between warring gang factions at Farm Road, Rich Plain, Diego Martin.
