An 18-year-old man was shot and killed near his family's business place in Chaguanas last night by two men.
Around 9.00 pm, Denzil Guy from 52 Michael Terrace, Nimblette Street, Enterprise was at his home where he operates a mini mart with his mother Sherryann Samuel, 36.
Guy was standing outside the mini mart called "Sherryann's Mini Mart' when two men, wearing black clothing and hoodies over their heads, carrying firearms approached him and started shooting at Guy. He was hit a number of times about his body.
Guy attempted to run for his life, but he was only able to make a short distance before he collapsed and died.
The men escaped on foot by running east along Michael Terrace.
Guy's body was taken to the San Fernando mortuary. An autopsy is expected to be done today at the Forensic Science Centre, St James.
Investigations continue.
