Two men were shot following an argument with a group of men outside the We Summer Festival at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba yesterday. While Kevon Martin remained warded at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex last night, the other victim left the hospital.
A report stated that around 4 am, Martin, 26, of Longdenville, was liming with friends outside the stadium when they had an argument with another group. One of the men pulled out a gun and fired several shots in their direction, striking Martin and Rakesh Deolal, in the face. The gunmen then left the scene, leaving Martin and Deolal bleeding on the ground.
Martin and Deolal were taken to the Chaguanas District Health Facility by their friends, where they were treated and transferred to the hospital at Mt Hope. Ste Madeleine police responded and interviewed a few people, however, no one was arrested up to late yesterday.
Also in the Southern Division, a 52-year-old Marabella man was arrested after assaulting an officer attached to the Marabella Police Station on Saturday. A report stated that officers responded to a report an intruder at a Gopaul Lands, Marabella around 10.45 am and found the suspect on the compound.
When a constable approached, the suspect struck him on his neck with a piece of broken glass.
The suspect was eventually subdued with the assistance of another officer and he was taken to the Marabella Police Station. The injured officer was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
