The Washington Post is reporting on the killing of an American soldier in Trinidad.
In an Associated Press (AP) dispatch from Port of Spain, the respected American newspaper said, "Police in Trinidad say a 38-year-old U.S. Army soldier vacationing on the Caribbean island was killed when gunmen rammed his car from behind in a rough slum and then opened fire.
"Authorities say Sgt. Simeon Roderique was shot Tuesday night shortly after dropping a woman off at her home in Laventille, a gang-plagued community just east of Trinidad's capital. The woman's brother was also killed.
"The police statement issued Wednesday says robbery is suspected as the motive. There have been no arrests. A statement from the U.S. Embassy in Trinidad says local authorities "are diligently working to solve this deplorable crime."
Roderique was born in Trinidad but migrated to the US 17 years ago. He became an ASmerican citizen and was a training sergeant with the US Army at its Headquarters in Queens.
