The mur­der toll jumped to 15 on Mon­day night with a dead­ly home in­va­sion in El Do­ra­do and a fa­tal dri­ve by shoot­ing in Port-of-Spain.

The vic­tims have been iden­ti­fied as Charisse Bram­ble, 32, and 70-year-old Ru­pert Der­rick, of Pic­ton Road, Laven­tille.

In that in­ci­dent, in which Der­rick, a re­tired ma­son from the Min­istry of Works was killed, three oth­er men were shot and wound­ed.

All four were shot in a dri­ve by shoot­ing that oc­curred at George Street at about 8 pm.

Po­lice said oc­cu­pants in a black Nis­san Xtrail drove past and opened fire.

It is be­lieved by Der­rick’s rel­a­tives and po­lice that he was in­no­cent­ly killed.

The wound­ed men have been iden­ti­fied as Teneil Rene, 27, who was shot four times in the legs; Ter­rance “Corn Curls” Cord­ner, who was shot in the right leg and Hen­ry Fras­er, 53, who was shot in the left hand.

Der­rick died while un­der­go­ing med­ical treat­ment at the Port-of- Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day at Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre, Der­rick’s rel­a­tives said he was on his way to play a Play Whe mark and to “make a small lime” which they said was his dai­ly rou­tine.

Der­rick was the fa­ther of sev­en and was known to “mind his own busi­ness.”

“He was a cool, down to earth man, very hum­ble. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time,” Der­rick’s rel­a­tive said.

Rel­a­tives added that they strong­ly be­lieve that they will get no jus­tice as CCTV sur­veil­lance close by cap­tured no footage.

In the oth­er un­re­lat­ed in­ci­dent, at about 10.20 pm two men armed with firearms forced their way in­to Bram­ble’s home at El Do­ra­do Road.

Po­lice said the men opened fire on Bram­ble and her rel­a­tive, Kent Davis, who were both in the liv­ing room.

Both vic­tims were tak­en to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex, how­ev­er, Bram­ble suc­cumbed to her in­juries.

Davis, up to late yes­ter­day, was list­ed in a crit­i­cal con­di­tion.

Bram­ble’s rel­a­tives, who were very dis­traught and who were at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre, de­clined to com­ment on the in­ci­dent say­ing that they “weren’t there.”

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing in­to both in­ci­dents.
