Months af­ter in­ter­view­ing the on­ly sur­vivor of the fa­tal po­lice-in­volved shoot­ings of Isa­iah Roberts, Leonar­do Williams, and Fabi­an Richards last Ju­ly, Po­lice Com­plaints Au­thor­i­ty (PCA) Di­rec­tor David West says in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the in­ci­dent are not yet com­plete.

In a brief tele­phone in­ter­viewnyes­ter­day, West said he could not com­ment on whether any­thing im­ped­ed the probe as in­ves­ti­ga­tors are still work­ing on the case.

Roberts, 17, Williams, 17, and Richards, 22, were among four men al­leged­ly chased and shot by po­lice along In­de­pen­dence Square, Port-of-Spain, on Ju­ly 2. A re­port stat­ed that around 3.20 am, of­fi­cers of the West­ern Di­vi­sion were pur­su­ing a white Toy­ota ve­hi­cle they be­lieved had armed men from Co­corite.

Sev­er­al units in­ter­cept­ed the ve­hi­cle at the cor­ner of In­de­pen­dence Square and Cha­con Street, re­sult­ing in an al­leged shootout.

In the end, three sus­pects were shot dead and a fourth, a 16-year-old boy, was se­ri­ous­ly in­jured. Two oth­er sur­vivors, who were un­harmed, were held by po­lice but re­leased with­out charge. Po­lice claimed they re­cov­ered a Smith and Wes­son pis­tol in the ve­hi­cle. Au­top­sies re­vealed the men suf­fered gun­shot wounds on their back, back of the head and but­tocks.

A few weeks ago, act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Mc­Don­ald Ja­cob told Guardian Me­dia, that the po­lice’s probe in­to the fa­tal shoot­ings had slowed af­ter in­ves­ti­gat­ing of­fi­cers were forced in­to quar­an­tine.

Mean­while, West said the PCA al­so con­tin­ues in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to oth­er re­cent fa­tal po­lice-in­volved shoot­ings. They in­clude the deaths of re­put­ed drug lord Phillip “Boss” Boodram, Mal­ick Paul and Ger­ard Thor­ing­ton of Good­will Road, En­ter­prise along Es­per­an­za Road, Cal­i­for­nia, on Sep­tem­ber 10. Boodram spent 17 years in prison for kid­nap­ping and bury­ing busi­ness­woman Sam­daye Ram­per­sad alive. Last June, ap­pel­late judges Al­ice Yorke-So Hon, Mark Mo­hammed and Prakash Moo­sai up­held an ap­peal from Boodram and set him free.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue in­to the fa­tal po­lice-in­volv­ing shoot­ings of Ricky Tay­lor and Kwame Wal­lace from En­ter­prise, Ch­agua­nas, and Ker­win Alexan­der from Bon Ac­cord, To­ba­go.

“All in­ves­ti­ga­tions are still con­tin­u­ing. We are look­ing at all av­enues and all as­pects of the in­ves­ti­ga­tions,” West said.
