A teenaged boy and a Maloney man were shot dead in separate incidents.
According to police reports J’Ouvert celebrations were being held in Sea Lots around 1.30 am yesterday when a gunman opened fire.
Fourteen-year-old Jerrel Roberts of Pioneer Drive in Sea Lots, was shot in his head.
Roberts was rushed to the Port-of-Spain General Hospital by relatives.
The gunman fled the scene.
Roberts eventually died in hospital hours after the shooting.
Officers of the Port-of-Spain Division are continuing investigations into the killing.
The Sea Lots street parade was unauthorised, police said.
No motive has been determined for the shooting as yet.
Maloney man murdered
Six hours before Roberts was shot, a 38-year-old man was killed in an unrelated incident in Maloney.
According to police reports, around 7.30 pm on Friday night residents of Building 4, Maloney Gardens, said they heard gunshots in their area.
Sunil Mohammed was later found shot dead lying in a pool of blood.
No motive has been determined as yet for Mohammed’s murder.
Building 4 in Maloney came into the national spotlight in 2013 when the body of six-year-old Keyana Cumberbatch was found killed and stuffed in a barrel inside an apartment there.
Investigations are continuing.
