Two el­der­ly men are this coun­try’s lat­est mur­der vic­tims as they were gunned down while lim­ing in Ari­ma on last night.

Po­lice said Ter­rence Romero, 68 and an­oth­er man iden­ti­fied on­ly by his alias “Pa” who is be­lieved to be in his ear­ly six­ties were lim­ing with an­oth­er man on La Re­treat Road, Ari­ma, near the dump at around 8.20 pm when they were shot sev­er­al times by at­tack­ers.

Res­i­dents called the po­lice who vis­it­ed the scene and took Romero and Pa to the Ari­ma Health Fa­cil­i­ty, where they were de­clared dead short­ly af­ter.

Re­gion II Homi­cide in­ves­ti­ga­tors were called in and re­mained at the scene up to Sat­ur­day morn­ing col­lect­ing ev­i­dence and can­vass­ing the area as part of the en­quiry.

This is the sec­ond mul­ti­ple mur­der to hap­pen in the La Re­treat/ Dump Road, Ari­ma, area for the year thus far.

On Feb­ru­ary 23, Ani­cia James, 47, her broth­er Anslem James, 49, and her com­mon-law hus­band Mitchell Fran­cois, 30, were gunned down dur­ing a home in­va­sion at La Re­treat Ex­ten­sion, Heights of Gua­napo.
