After shooting Henry Prince dead in his car during heavy traffic yesterday, Prince's killer casually walked up John Stone Street in San Fernando and disappeared near Carib Street, close to the Grant Memorial Presbyterian School.

As it was the Christmas vacation the school was closed, but the streets were bustling with people shopping for the festive season.

A camera installed by the T&T Police Service captured the killer's face and his cool strut.

A witness who requested anonymity said Prince was sitting in his green Lancer in a driveway near ATC at John Stone Street when a single loud explosion was heard. As Prince slumped dead from a bullet to his head, people saw the man walking off. A few people rushed to Prince's aid and called the police when they saw the blood running from his body.

Investigators said Henry was known to them and had a matter before the High court. His address was also listed as Fort George, Moruga.

A team of officers led by Insp Don Gajadhar, as well as Homicide officers, responded and took Prince to the San Fernando mortuary. An autopsy will be done today.

Initially people speculated that Prince was employed by the T&T Coast Guard, but this was denied by TTCG communications officer Sherron Manswell. Police have since launched a manhunt for the killer. Prince's family was contacted last night.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a motorcyclist was killed following an accident at the South Trunk Road, San Fernando, yesterday.

His identity has not been confirmed. Details of the accident were unclear, but police said the motorcyclist was found on the road while his bike was found close a nearby tree. The bike, licensed PBT 2231, was registered under the name Billy Lalla of Penal Rock Road.
