Po­lice are prob­ing three mur­ders which oc­curred yes­ter­day, in­clud­ing the brazen killing of a man in the car park of a pop­u­lar shop­ping out­let.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, a man was shot and killed while in the car park of PriceS­mart on Mau­si­ca Road, D’abadie, yes­ter­day, in full view of shop­pers.

Po­lice and wit­ness­es told Guardian Me­dia that around 11 am, Mark Ren­nie, 41, ar­rived at the out­let and had just ex­it­ed his ve­hi­cle when he was con­front­ed by three armed men.

As the men opened fire on Ren­nie, who at­tempt­ed to run to­wards the Pay­less out­let lo­cat­ed next to PriceS­mart, em­ploy­ees and cus­tomers be­gan scream­ing and run­ning to­wards the back of the store as bul­lets struck the glass panes at the front.

Ren­nie was shot in the head and col­lapsed on the ground in the park­ing lot, as the sus­pects en­tered a wait­ing ve­hi­cle and sped off.

Of­fi­cers were quick­ly on the scene and cor­doned off the area with shop­ping carts.

Shop­pers were forced to nav­i­gate around the po­lice, load­ing their gro­ceries at an ac­tive crime scene. How­ev­er, some cu­ri­ous shop­pers braved the rain and the makeshift po­lice bar­ri­er to catch a glimpse of the body, which re­mained at the scene for more than one hour be­fore it was re­moved.

Ren­nie was tak­en to the Ari­ma Dis­trict Hos­pi­tal, where he was pro­nounced dead on ar­rival.

The shoot­ing re­sult­ed in Pay­less sus­pend­ing op­er­a­tions at that lo­ca­tion for the rest of the day.

Pay­less Coun­try Man­ag­er for T&T, Bar­ba­dos and the East­ern Caribbean, Jerus Mo­hammed, is­sued a state­ment short­ly af­ter the in­ci­dent, in which he said, “At this time our store at PriceS­mart Mau­si­ca re­mains closed to­day due to an in­ci­dent un­re­lat­ed to our store, which oc­curred on the com­pound. All of our cus­tomers and as­so­ciates are safe.”

A PriceS­mart man­ag­er de­clined to speak to Guardian Me­dia at the scene.

Mean­while, in an un­re­lat­ed in­ci­dent, a Sea Lots man was gunned down yes­ter­day morn­ing.

The vic­tim was iden­ti­fied as Josi­ah Lin­coln Greenidge, 32.

Po­lice said res­i­dents re­port­ed to of­fi­cers that they heard gun­shots around 9 am, fol­low­ing which Greenidge’s bul­let-rid­dled body was found a short while lat­er.

And just a few hours lat­er at Orop­une Gar­dens, Pi­ar­co, a man known as “Fats” was shot dead in one of the town­hous­es.

The mur­der oc­curred just af­ter 2 pm at 5th Street, where a pop­u­lar fruit shed is lo­cat­ed.

A 15-sec­ond video cap­tured by a res­i­dent and post­ed to so­cial me­dia short­ly af­ter, showed three men run­ning to­wards a wait­ing ve­hi­cle just as the gun­shots were heard com­ing from in­side the build­ing.

The car then sped off along the cir­cu­lar.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing in­to all three killings.
