Just over a week since his brother Collin Alexis alias "Kudos”, 28, stepson of murdered reputed gangleader Selwyn "Robocop" Alexis, who was killed, a team of police officers sledgehammered their way in into the home of Kerron Alexis, son of murdered reputed gangleader Selwyn "Robocop" Alexis on Friday morning.
On July 7, Alexis' younger brother, Collin was killed allegedly by members of the Unruly Isis gang while at Jack Terrace visiting his girlfriend.
However, in the aftermath of that killing Kerron made a call for a thorough investigation by the police claiming that they received information that no members of the Unruly Isis gang had anything to do with Alexis' (Collin's) murder.
Just 11 days after and on the eve of his father's murder anniversary, Kerron said he and his family were rudely awakened by a group of Police officers led by a police Sergeant that they claimed they are all "too well familiar with."
Speaking with the Guardian Media, Kerron said just after 5 am about seven police vehicles pulled up outside his home but only a few of them came out and stormed into his house.
"They had a sledge hammer and broke down the iron gate that we have installed for our protection and came in. One of the officers saw a camera under the shed facing my apartment and my younger brother's apartment and tried to rip it off but luckily for us it continued recording," Kerron said.
"When my younger brother came our one of the officers pushed him back into his apartment. I saw one of the officers had his service firearm drawn but an old rusty one on the waist. Tell me what was their motive when we know that the police said (allegedly) that they are out to kill my little brother," he added.
The video footage showed one of the officers slapping away a cellphone from Kerron's brother as he was trying to video tape them.
"Since the start of this year the police keep coming around and harassing us especially this particular Sergeant whom I already reported too to the Professional Standards Bureau," Kerron said.
"My mother who was also home had her doors broken down and jostled. They had the dogs all over and we don't know what they were searching for. They showed no warrant and they told us nothing. We don't know if they were looking for drugs, guns or what but all we know is that we are being harassed and we will make further reports to the Professional Standards Bureau and the Police Complaints Authority under Mr David West," he added.
Even while Guardian Media was conducting the interview with Kerron a marked police vehicle slowly drove past the house, turned further up the road and slowly drove back past the house.
Kerron muttered: "You see they passing."
Kerron's father, Selwyn, on July 17, 2016, a reputed gang leader and criminal mastermind was assassinated at Enterprise, Chaguanas.
Selwyn's, customer Kevin Escayg, of San Juan and Escayg's four-year-old son, Kirchard Scott, were shot several times as a group of gunmen ambushed them at Selwyn's carwash at Freedom Street at about 4.30 pm on that day.
Earlier this year, in January, Kerron alleged police harassment from officers assigned to the Central Division.
Speaking with the Guardian Media then, Kerron said in the beginning of the year, officers came searching for him at several properties he owns in the Enterprise area claiming they have warrants for arms, ammunition and drugs.
"Four times they came and going into my tenants apartments looking for me, sometimes 5.30 am. I have Syrians, Spanish and others renting my properties that yes, in my name but they not even coming directly to the apartment I live in," Kerron said in an interview with the Guardian Media in January this year.
"I don't be out there in trouble or causing trouble so long Enterprise quiet down and it's not because of the police it's because of us we made a decision to work together for peace, to restore peace back into the community. So, whatever the police have with Selwyn Alexis they should take it up with him not me," he added.
Kerron also alleged that the officers also went to his mother's apartment and broke locks and broke down doors to enter. He added that while masked up and with guns they allegedly took his daughter's laptop away from her while she was in a zoom class, "the police traumatized all these children, all under ten years of age. My daughter was left in tears when they grabbed her laptop away from her and took it off. If these police want me I telling them to come to my place and my door open for them."
Kerron subsequently made a report to David West of the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) where an investigation was launched.
He's expected to lodge another report to the PCA soon and is in the process of seeking legal advice.
