Jomol Modeste.

Two men have been shot dead in En­ter­prise, Ch­agua­nas, in what po­lice strong­ly be­lieve may have been a reprisal at­tack for the fa­tal shoot­ing of nine-year-old Jo­mol Mod­este.

The child was shot while play­ing at the African Grounds in En­ter­prise last Sat­ur­day.

The two have been iden­ti­fied as Mar­ius Guev­er­ra, 25, and Tevin Nep­tune Joseph, 29.

They were re­port­ed­ly on their way to swear to af­fi­davits in favour of four men de­tained in con­nec­tion with Jo­mol’s mur­der but did not ar­rive to com­plete the trans­ac­tion.

Three of the four sus­pects were re­leased by po­lice yes­ter­day. Charges of arms and am­mu­ni­tion could be laid against the fourth sus­pect, po­lice said.

The men were de­tained on Sun­day and placed at the Freeport, Cunu­pia, Ca­roni and Cou­va Po­lice Sta­tions. Their lawyers sub­se­quent­ly filed a writ of habeas cor­pus.

In the 10-page doc­u­ment, the four men claimed they were beat­en by the po­lice. The four men are from En­ter­prise and Long­denville.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, at around 3 pm on Mon­day, Guev­er­ra and Joseph were on their way to pick up a third per­son—said to be a woman—when they were am­bushed and shot by gun­men on Free­dom Street, En­ter­prise.

At­tor­ney Blaine So­bri­an, of the Criston J Williams law of­fice, yes­ter­day con­firmed that the men were friends of the four men de­tained. He said they were his clients who had in­tend­ed to vis­it the law of­fice in Port-of-Spain to swear to the af­fi­davits for the four men who were de­tained at the time.

Res­i­dents yes­ter­day claimed that a po­lice ve­hi­cle was not far away and, de­spite this, no ac­tion was tak­en by of­fi­cers.

Mean­while, in­ves­ti­ga­tors said their probe is lead­ing them to be­lieve that the shoot­ing was part of gang reprisal ac­tiv­i­ty over the killing of the child.
