Corey “Small Mouth” Riley was gunned down whilst cutting grass in the vicinity of Achong Street and South Quay, Laventille, this morning.
Motorists and passers-by along the Eastern Main Road (EMR) and the Priority Bus Route (PBR) in the vicinity of the Port-of-Spain Abbatoir were forced to speed up and/or divert as gunshots rang out in the grassy area between the two access roads.
Reports indicate the labourer, who was said to be from the San Juan area and who appeared to be in his 40s, had been operating a weed-wacker when he was shot.
It was alleged a single gunman walked up to the victim and shot him in the head before running off towards the EMR.
Investigators have labelled the killing as gang-related.
