Min­utes af­ter 34-year-old Trevor Williams was gunned down out­side the Besson Street Po­lice Sta­tion, an east Port of Spain man, who heard a sep­a­rate vol­ley of gun­fire, was struck by a stray bul­let when he peeped out­side to see what was hap­pen­ing.

Po­lice said the 53-year-old man was in the bed­room of his Clifton Tow­ers home at 4:10 pm on Sat­ur­day when he heard gun­shots.

As he looked out of his win­dow, he felt a burn­ing sen­sa­tion on his right palm near his lit­tle fin­ger and re­alised he was bleed­ing.

The man went to the hos­pi­tal, where staff treat­ed him.

At the same time, of­fi­cers from the Port of Spain Task Force and the In­ter Agency Task Force re­spond­ed to Williams' mur­der and vis­it­ed Fos­ter Que­v­i­dore Road, John John, Laven­tille, where they found an as­sault ri­fle with 15 rounds of 5.56 am­mu­ni­tion.

Po­lice ar­rest­ed a 26-year-old east Port of Spain man in con­nec­tion with the gun.

Po­lice have not con­firmed whether this dis­cov­ery is re­lat­ed to Williams' mur­der.
