A police officer at the scene of the shooting incident that left 3 men dead and 3 others wounded, in Cedros, on September 5, 2024.

 

A Ce­dros com­mu­ni­ty is in shock af­ter gun­men stormed Ica­cos Point this morn­ing, mur­der­ing three fish­er­men and wound­ing three Venezue­lan im­mi­grants.

Dead are 36-year-old Ka­reem Ce­les­tine of Ica­cos Vil­lage; Joshua Sad­hoo of Fuller­ton Vil­lage; and a Point Fortin fish­er­men iden­ti­fied on­ly as ‘Darko’.

Res­i­dents said the men were lim­ing late in­to the morn­ing when around 3 am, gun­men came to the beach via a boat.

The gun­men re­port­ed­ly opened fire on Darko's ve­hi­cle killing Sad­hoo. They then fired at Ce­les­tine's shed where he was with Darko.

The gun­men then walked to an­oth­er house where the im­mi­grants were and opened fire.

Ka­reem Ce­les­tine's fa­ther, Paschal, said his son had no quar­rel with any­one.

“I can’t be­lieve no­body… I ain’t see no­body… I don’t know… I don’t know,” Paschal Ce­les­tine told Guardian Me­dia.

“He nev­er told me that some­body and he had any­thing.  I know that nev­er oc­curred be­cause I just talked to him yes­ter­day.  His moth­er made soup and car­ried it on the beach for them,” he re­called.  “So, I re­al­ly can’t say what caused that to hap­pen.”

The sus­pects be­hind the shoot­ing re­main at large and no ar­rests have been made.

Po­lice are yet to de­ter­mine a mo­tive for the mur­ders.
