A woman who was shot yesterday in D'Abadie along with a 16-year-old girl succumbed to her injuries at the hospital on Monday evening.
Police said at about 1 am on Monday, Monique Griffith, 21, was standing on the side of the road at John Lane when a man approached her with a gun and opened fire. She attempted to run away but fell. A 16-year-old girl who was nearby was hit by a stray bullet.
Both victims were taken to the Arima District Health Facility where they were treated and warded. However, Griffith succumbed to her injuries.
Reports are that Griffith was involved in a relationship with a man who is well known to the police.
