A Parts World employee was gunned down in the car park of a business along the Eastern Main Road in Barataria on Tuesday, in what police suspect is the latest chapter in an ongoing gang feud.<\/p>\n
The victim has been identified as Shaquille Charles, 26, of Mon Repos Road, Morvant. He was shot multiple times and died at the scene before emergency services could arrive.<\/p>\n
Investigators are treating the murder as a possible reprisal attack linked to a triple homicide that occurred at the Unipet Gas Station in Laventille on Saturday. The ongoing rivalry between gangs from Mon Repos and Chinapoo is believed to be at the centre of both incidents.<\/p>\n
Sources close to the investigation say Charles was not known to be involved in any criminal activity. They suggest he may have been targeted simply because he lived in the Mon Repos community, a chilling indication of how gang violence can ensnare innocent civilians.<\/p>\n
Police have launched a full investigation and are appealing to anyone with information to come forward. No arrests have been made so far, and authorities continue to gather evidence and interview potential witnesses.<\/p>\n
The killing has left residents and colleagues in shock, underscoring the growing concern over reprisal shootings in Trinidad and Tobago’s urban communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
