A GUNMAN pumped two bullets into the head of a man yesterday as he strolled along Nelson Street, Port of Spain, near Independence Square, sending pedestrians scampering for safety.
Up to press time police were unable to identify the victim. The incident occurred shortly after 6 p.m. An eyewitness said the gunman walked up to the victim, held him by the shoulder, and fired two shots to his head at point-blank range.
Police cordoned off the area last night, blocking some residents access to their homes, while a helicopter hovered overhead. Residents complained that there were insufficient patrols in their district. The killing pushes the murder toll to 165.
Homicide Bureau officers are continuing investigations.
