Police have identified the two men and a woman killed in a police-involved shooting on Wednesday night.
Police said Jonathan and Roshan Bahadoor and Rhianna Harewood were killed following a robbery in Chaguanas.
Police reported that officers from the Couva Criminal Investigations Department, Central Division Task Force and the Couva Charge Room were on an anti-crime exercise at 10.30 pm along Perseverance Road, Chaguanas, when they spotted a gold Nissan Tiida, which matched the description of a vehicle used in a violent robbery early Wednesday along Ojar Avenue, Chandernagore.
Officers said they called on the driver of the car to stop, which he did. As the officers approached the car, however, they were reportedly shot at. Officers returned fire and the driver sped off.
The suspects were later found and taken to the Chaguanas Health Facility, where they succumbed to their injuries.
