A 29-year-old man who went to Corinth Hills in Ste Madeleine to col­lect mon­ey for Car­ni­val-re­lat­ed ac­tiv­i­ties was shot dead on Sun­day night.

Po­lice said Trey Bernard of Har­mo­ny Hall, Mara­bel­la, died in the dri­ve­way in front of a res­i­dent’s home at Ni­nis Lane.

Bernard, his girl­friend and her sis­ter were at her home in Mara­bel­la when they left to meet a man to col­lect some mon­ey.

Po­lice said they ar­rived at the lo­ca­tion in a De­liv­er Me TT Ser­vice ve­hi­cle, dri­ven by a fe­male dri­ver, around 8.40 pm.

Bernard was speak­ing on his cell­phone try­ing to get the cor­rect lo­ca­tion when he came out of the ve­hi­cle and was stand­ing on the side of the road. 

Af­ter a few min­utes, a white Ti­i­da pulled up and an oc­cu­pant came out and fired sev­er­al shots at him.

The De­liv­er Me TT Ser­vice dri­ver got scared and drove off as Bernard slumped to the ground and died.

Bernard’s girl­friend de­mand­ed that the dri­ver stop the ve­hi­cle, which she did.

She came out in Co­coyea Vil­lage and the dri­ver drove off.

An off-du­ty po­lice of­fi­cer saw her cry­ing and in­ter­vened, alert­ing of­fi­cers to what hap­pened.

Crime scene in­ves­ti­ga­tors re­trieved eleven spent 9mm shells and two pro­jec­tiles close to Bernard’s body.

Of­fi­cers of the Homi­cide Bu­reau of In­ves­ti­ga­tions Re­gion 3 are in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
