A 30-year-old man was shot and killed outside his home on Tobago Road Extension, Lendore Village, Chaguanas, on Friday afternoon.
Nicholson Bowen, also known as Balco, reportedly stepped out of his house around 5:30pm when several gunshots were heard. Residents later found him lying motionless on the roadway with visible gunshot wounds to his body.
Police and emergency responders arrived and recovered seventeen spent 9mm shell casings and one projectile at the scene.
Investigators learned that Bowen had been involved in an altercation with a group of young men from the area the day before. Around 5:00pm on Friday, he reportedly had another dispute with the same group before returning to his home. Half an hour later, he was gunned down.
Investigations are ongoing.
