GML Cor­re­spon­dent

A Ply­mouth woman be­came To­ba­go’s eighth mur­der vic­tim af­ter she was cor­nered and shot ear­ly this morn­ing.

Po­lice told Guardian Me­dia that Nikeisha Sandy was walk­ing along Arnos Vale Road in Ply­mouth around 6 am, when two gun­men ap­proached her and shot her mul­ti­ple times.

A DMO pro­nounced her dead on the scene and or­dered the body re­moved to the Scar­bor­ough Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal Mor­tu­ary for a post-mortem.

Sandy is the sec­ond woman to have been shot dead in less than two weeks in To­ba­go.

On May 4, Shel­lon Wal­ters-Joseph was found dead over a precipice. Her car was then used in a dri­ve-by shoot­ing in Spey­side.

This morn­ing, emo­tions ran high, and tem­pers flared among rel­a­tives and vil­lagers who vowed “a Kill for a Kill”, as crime scene in­ves­ti­ga­tors processed the scene.

One rel­a­tive said, “What they feel, we have no­body ah wah? I go­ing to buy big guns too. Big guns I’m go­ing to buy! That is what they want; that is what they go­ing to get. What they want they will get!”

Mean­while, Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent Rod­hill Kirk said while he un­der­stands their anger, he is ask­ing res­i­dents not to take mat­ters in­to their own hands.

He en­cour­aged them to work with po­lice in­stead, to solve the case.
