Po­lice of­fi­cers are still try­ing to as­cer­tain the iden­ti­ties of the two sus­pects in con­nec­tion with the fa­tal shoot­ing Jim­my Thomas, 28, of Ojoe Road in San­gre Grande.

Po­lice are ask­ing mem­bers of the pub­lic to as­sist them in iden­ti­fy­ing the per­pe­tra­tors of the crime.

Guardian Me­dia was told that up to late Thurs­day, no one was ar­rest­ed and no pos­i­tive iden­ti­ties of the sus­pects had been re­ceived.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, at about 9 pm on Tues­day, Thomas was stand­ing at the cor­ner of Boodoo Cir­cu­lar and East­ern Main Road, San­gre Grande, in front of a bar, when he was ap­proached by two men.

One of the men, as seen in a video that went vi­ral on so­cial me­dia, at­tempt­ed to grab Thomas’ gold chain. Thomas re­sist­ed.

There was a strug­gle be­tween Thomas and the men be­fore one of them drew a gun and shot him sev­er­al times. The sus­pect hold­ing the firearm then grabbed the gold chain. Both sus­pects then ran away.

Po­lice are ap­peal­ing to any­one with in­for­ma­tion on the iden­ti­ties of the sus­pects to con­tact them at 800 TIPS, 555, 999 or via the TTPS’ app.
