Less than 23 hours af­ter To­ba­go record­ed its 11th mur­der, po­lice were called to a dou­ble mur­der just af­ter 1 am at Mil­ford Road, Crown Point.

To­ba­go's mur­der toll now stands at a record high of 13 for 2023.

Po­lice told Guardian Me­dia that gun­men sprayed bul­lets in­to a group gath­er­ing at Chill Out Bar, hit­ting three men. Two of them were killed.

So far one of the de­ceased has been iden­ti­fied as Akeem Fre­itas. The third vic­tim was tak­en to Scar­bor­ough Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal for emer­gency med­ical at­ten­tion for gun­shot wounds.

A po­lice source said Fre­itas, from Rock­ley Vale, is a mem­ber of the Sixx gang in To­ba­go and is known to the po­lice for sev­er­al il­le­gal firearm-re­lat­ed of­fences.

Of­fi­cers be­lieve the sec­ond vic­tim, a man in his 50s, may have been at the wrong place at the wrong time. A Dis­trict Med­ical Of­fi­cer (DMO) vis­it­ed the scene just af­ter 3 am and or­dered the bod­ies to be re­moved to Scar­bor­ough Mor­tu­ary.

This sto­ry will be up­dat­ed as more in­for­ma­tion be­comes avail­able.
