An Arouca man died at the Arima District Hospital yesterday afternoon, after he was shot near his Windy Hill, Arouca home.
According to police, Ryan Powder was found bleeding at the side of the road when Cpl Ali and WPC Francis responded to a report of shooting in the area just after noon. The officers took the bleeding man to the hospital where he died while being treated.
Police have labelled the killing as gang-related and say they are bracing for reprisal killings as a result.
