The police file regarding the killings of three friends at the hands of police officers in Port of Spain on Saturday 2nd July, 2022, will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions tomorrow, Friday 15th July.
• Relatives and friends of the men staged a peaceful demonstration outside the scene of the killings at the corner of independence square and Chacon Street in Port of Spain earlier today calling for justice to be served in the matter.
• The group then walked towards the police administration building where the mothers of Fabien Richards, and the parents of Leonardo Williams, were invited to meet with the acting commissioner of police Mc Donald Jacob.
• Acting deputy commissioner of police Wendell Williams had asked that the protest in front of the police administration building be stopped shortly before he invited the parents into the police administration building.
• Among those with called for justice was four-year-old Emmanuel St. Clair, the nephew of Fabien Richards.
• 17-year-old Isaiah Roberts; 17-year-old Leonardo Williams; and 21-year-old Fabien Richards were shot & killed by officers of the guard and emergency branch inside a white Toyota aqua motor car in downtown Port of Spain.
• Police claimed occupants of the car opened fire on the men but three survivors have disputed the police’s version of events saying that the only ones who were firing shots were the police.
• Even bystanders accused the police of firing shots at unarmed persons. Last week all three victims were laid to rest after separate funeral services.
