Six years after her son was fatally shot near their Mon Repos home, a mother of nine lost another child, Reon Massey, 34, under similar tragic circumstances on Monday night.
No longer feeling safe in the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) apartment in San Fernando where she called home for decades, Janice Massey is appealing to HDC to be relocated to another community.
Even though the HDC apartment buildings are adjacent to the Mon Repos Police Station, she said her two sons Reon and Dillon were still murdered.
Massey said she did not know whether Reon, a CEPEP worker, was threatened or had any problem with anyone.
According to a police report, the murder took place around 8.45 pm at a washing shed to the back of one of the buildings.
Investigators have identified a person of interest who was known to Reon and lives in the area.
Massey said, “I was at home when I heard the shots. I knew it was gun shots because we get that now and again. They come and tell me Reon get shot. When I went outside I saw the police taking him.”
When she got to the San Fernando General Hospital she was informed that he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Lamenting the crime situation, she said, “Too many people are trigger happy. I don’t know where they getting the guns.
