Bullets rained on a Toyota Corolla motor car along the north-bound lane of the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway on Monday 20th June, 2022, which left two (2) men dead and another critically wounded at the hospital.
The shooting happened just opposite the Brian Lara Stadium where the “Stink and Dutty” fete had taken place overnight.
Acting Commissioner of Police Mc Donald Jacob, speaking with the media while visiting the scene, said that based on the information provided to him, the incident was gang-related.
He said the killers ambushed the men along the highway while they were inside a vehicle and fired a volley of shots at them. In an attempt to escape the driver of the car, identified as Spongebob, drove off but they were pursued and shot at.
The car collided with a railing at the side of the highway, ripping off one of the doors on the vehicle some 800 meters from where the shooting began.
Spongebob eventually crashed the vehicle some 200 meters away where he and the front seat passenger, who tried to flee the car, died.
It took crime scene investigators approximately 6 hours to process the entire scene as parts of the highway were blocked off to vehicular traffic.
