The Trinidad and To­ba­go Ag­gre­gate Pro­duc­ers As­so­ci­a­tion (TTA­PA) has ex­tend­ed con­do­lences fol­low­ing the death of busi­ness­man and quar­ry op­er­a­tor Dan­ny Guer­ra.

In a state­ment, the as­so­ci­a­tion said it ex­tends con­do­lences to the fam­i­ly, friends and as­so­ciates of Guer­ra, who was am­bushed and ex­e­cut­ed on Fri­day af­ter­noon out­side one of his busi­ness­es in San­gre Grande.

TTA­PA said Guer­ra was in­volved in the quar­ry­ing and con­struc­tion ma­te­ri­als sec­tor as an en­tre­pre­neur in ag­gre­gate pro­duc­tion and hous­ing con­struc­tion.

Ac­cord­ing to the as­so­ci­a­tion, Guer­ra par­tic­i­pat­ed in the sup­ply of ma­te­ri­als used in na­tion­al de­vel­op­ment projects, in­clud­ing the con­struc­tion of roads, homes and oth­er in­fra­struc­ture across Trinidad and To­ba­go.

TTA­PA said the ag­gre­gate sec­tor forms part of eco­nom­ic ac­tiv­i­ty and the built en­vi­ron­ment of the coun­try.

The as­so­ci­a­tion not­ed that in­di­vid­u­als in the in­dus­try con­tribute to the sup­ply of raw ma­te­ri­als used in con­struc­tion, hous­ing and pub­lic works projects through­out the coun­try.

TTA­PA said it ac­knowl­edges Guer­ra’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in the sec­tor and the role of en­tre­pre­neurs and op­er­a­tors in­volved in the sup­ply of con­struc­tion ma­te­ri­als.

Pres­i­dent of TTA­PA Nigel Tenia said the as­so­ci­a­tion recog­nis­es the role played by Guer­ra in the in­dus­try.

Tenia said the ag­gre­gate in­dus­try re­lies on the work of in­di­vid­u­als and busi­ness­es op­er­at­ing with­in the sec­tor.

“On be­half of TTA­PA, we ex­tend our con­do­lences to the fam­i­ly and loved ones of Dan­ny Guer­ra. The ag­gre­gate in­dus­try re­lies on the ef­forts of many in­di­vid­u­als and busi­ness­es, and we rec­og­nize the role that Dan­ny Guer­ra played in this sec­tor, sup­port­ing na­tion­al de­vel­op­ment,” Tenia said.

The as­so­ci­a­tion al­so ex­tend­ed sym­pa­thies to those af­fect­ed by the death of Guer­ra.
