(Trinidad Express) Blood continues to flow in Tobago as the sister isle recorded its 19th murder for the year with the killing of a woman who is alleged to be a gang member.
At around 3 p.m. yesterday, alleged Seven gang member Victoria Guerra, alias “Dolly Boss”, was shot multiple times in Argyle, Tobago.
The Express learnt that Guerra was hiding out in the countryside in Tobago with other alleged gang members.
Police said Guerra was on the street leading to the Argyle Waterfall when a car pulled up and a group of men exited and fired several shots at her and a man in her company.
Both Guerra and the man were taken to the Roxborough hospital. Guerra, who was under police guard at the hospital, died, while the man was grazed by a bullet and escaped death. The gunmen also went on to shoot an alleged Sixx gang member in Pembroke.
Police said the shooting of “Dolly Boss” may be a reprisal for the Saturday shooting of Ezra Sylvester, 41.
Sylvester, who was shot multiple times in Scarborough, died at the Scarborough General Hospital at around 9.15 p.m. on Saturday. He was said to be a member of the Sixx gang.
Police reported that Sylvester was sitting on a chair under a tent at the old First Citizens bank car park located on Carrington Street when a black Matrix stopped on the roadway.
Five men, who were armed with firearms, exited the vehicle and began shooting.
Also injured in that shooting and hospitalised were Anthony Lopez, 27, of Goodwood, and Andrew Archer, 29, of Pump Mill.
Police had warned Sylvester that his enemies wanted him dead. He had survived a previous attempt to kill him.
Fatal shootings have been rocking Tobago and distressing residents of the usually tranquil island.
In July this year, Tobago recorded a quadruple murder. Four men—Anslem Douglas, Gregory Hamlet, Samuel Mc Cain and Jamoki Duncan— were killed after gunmen wearing camouflage uniforms stormed Douglas’ Black Rock, Tobago home and rained bullets.
