A 27-year-old man was gunned down in the bedroom of his Mt Hope Extension home this morning.
He was identified as Brandon “Skeletor” Barker.
According to a police report, at about 12.30 am Barker was in his bedroom when several gunshots were heard. Upon checks by occupants of the house, Barker was seen lying dead on the floor.
Police said they are yet to determine a motive for the killing. However, they believe that Barker’s killer was in the house.
Yesterday at the Forensic Science Centre, Barker’s relatives were there, however, when Guardian Media approached them, a woman, in a loud voice said, “If alyuh is media, we not talking to you.”
Barker’s murder was the 13th so far for this year.
Meanwhile, one murder was recorded on Sunday. Ashton Torres, 32, was shot while in his car outside of his Manhattan Drive home in Arima.
Investigations are continuing.
