Four peo­ple were in­jured in two sep­a­rate shoot­ings over the week­end in the south and south­west­ern dis­tricts.

The first in­ci­dent oc­curred around 6:10 a.m. on Sat­ur­day on Sut­ton Street, San Fer­nan­do, near Pave­ment Bar. Po­lice said three men were walk­ing in the area when they heard sev­er­al ex­plo­sions. Two of the vic­tims, 21-year-old Dar­i­on Mo­han of Sec­ond Street, Ste Made­line, and 21-year-old Josi­ah Scott of Bat­too Av­enue, Mara­bel­la, ran in­to the bar af­ter be­ing wound­ed.

Both sus­tained gun­shot wounds to their right feet. They lat­er as­sist­ed a third man who was found on the road­way with mul­ti­ple in­juries to his back and body. He was tak­en to San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal in crit­i­cal con­di­tion. Of­fi­cers can­vassed the area for CCTV footage and processed items of ev­i­den­tial val­ue while med­ical re­ports were re­quest­ed.

Around 7:35 p.m. the same day, po­lice re­spond­ed to a shoot­ing on War­den Road, Point Fortin. The vic­tim, 45-year-old con­struc­tion work­er Fer­dell Neer­an­jan of Ari­api­ta Road, St Ann’s, told of­fi­cers he was ap­proached by a man in a black hood­ie and or­ange three-quar­ter trousers. A strug­gle fol­lowed, dur­ing which Neer­an­jan suf­fered a head in­jury and the sus­pect fired sev­er­al shots be­fore flee­ing.

Three 9mm spent shells and one live round were re­cov­ered. Neer­an­jan de­clined med­ical at­ten­tion. Po­lice are re­view­ing CCTV footage from the area.

Any­one with in­for­ma­tion on ei­ther in­ci­dent is asked to con­tact in­ves­ti­ga­tors.
