A second person has been murdered since the new year started.
Reports say the victim was attacked by assailants in a car in a drive-by shooting in Princes Town. Marcus Cooper of Mandingo Road, Indian Walk was shot dead while another occupant of the car, Stefon Brereton, was injured and remains in hospital.
Police told the media the men were travelling along Mandingo Road when they were attacked. However they did not get a description of the attackers.
Cooper’s father said he believes his son’s death stemmed from a recent altercation with a villager.
Earl Cooper told reporters, “A couple of days before Christmas, he and a man had a confrontation. I was told that a man and two others came around Marcus and were looking for bacchanal.
"They threw rum on him and he did not take that as it was a real embarrassing thing. After the confrontation everyone left and come down the road and the same fella Marcus had the confrontation with, came behind him."
