Two more peo­ple have been mur­dered in Ari­ma.

The first vic­tim was iden­ti­fied as 39-year-old Ker­ry Ar­cia of Pope Av­enue and Train­line Road Mal­abar.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, around 7.30 am yes­ter­day, res­i­dents heard sev­er­al loud ex­plo­sions and saw a white Nis­san AD wag­on dri­ving north along Train­line Road. When they checked they found Ar­cia ly­ing mo­tion­less at the side of his home.

Hours lat­er, Clyde Ro­jas of Tem­ple Street, Ari­ma, was shot dead in the same area. Ro­jas was de­scribed by res­i­dents as “some­one who did not both­er any­one.”

In mid-April, six peo­ple were shot at Tem­ple Street, Ari­ma. Two of the vic­tims were iden­ti­fied as Can­dace Grif­fith and Alana Layne died.

In Ju­ly 2022, Ari­ma topped the coun­try for the most se­ri­ous crimes, and then act­ing po­lice com­mis­sion­er Mc Don­ald Ja­cob promised to ramp up pa­trols.

Undertakers remove the body of Kerry Arcia after he was killed at his Trainline Road, Malabar, Arima home yesterday.
