The murder toll has risen to 401 with the death of a 20-year-old man from Beetham Gardens, Port-of-Spain.
According to reports, Je-Quan Henry from Phase Four, was walking with an unidentified man in Laventille around mid-morning today.
The two were walking near Piquette #2, Laventille when shots were fired. Residents later found Henry dead. The man he was walking with was nowhere to be seen.
Henry had two pending matters before the court for robbery.
His mother, Tiffany Henry, said she was exasperated with her son and begged him to change his ways.
“He was a harden child,” she said. He never listened to me when I told about the life he was living.”
Investigations are continuing.
