To­ba­go record­ed its 20th mur­der last night af­ter gun­men opened fire on a group at Calder Hall.

Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent Rod­hill Kirk con­firmed Kur­lon Thomas, of Good­wood, died af­ter gun­men opened fire on a group of men he was lim­ing with. Omari Roberts, Jerome Charles, and Nicholas Bovell were among the oth­ers in­jured.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that two of the in­jured men had sur­vived a fa­tal shoot­ing on Au­gust 5, where Ezra Sylvester was killed in Scar­bor­ough. Po­lice be­lieve the gun­men re­turned to fin­ish their tar­gets from last month’s at­tack.

Nicholas Bovell is the broth­er of mur­dered Trini­bad artiste N’Kosi Bovell.

In 2022, N’Kosi Bovell, al­so known as Fari Dan, was shot sev­er­al times while lim­ing with friends at the Dutch Fort Restau­rant and Bar in Scar­bor­ough. The gun­men fled the scene im­me­di­ate­ly af­ter the at­tack.
