A Claxton Bay man was shot and killed in his neighborhood while playing cards in the first homicide on Wednesday night.
Where the corpse of Ishmael Alexander, 25, was discovered, crime scene investigators recovered 13 wasted nine-millimeter shot casings and two live nine-millimeter rounds of ammunition.
According to a police complaint, gunshots broke out at Alexander’s father-in-home law’s on Harry Bacchus Street in Claxton Bay at 10.30 p.m.
The corpse of Alexander, who was dressed in black track pants and a black hoodie, was found over a small wall at the back of a building, according to police, who claimed to have been there at the time.
Alexander was playing cards with numerous individuals when the two guys entered the building, according to police investigations. One of the males was dressed in a camouflage jersey, pants, and face mask, while the other was dressed in a black jersey, pants, and mask.
Alexander was instantly killed when one of the guys said, “Look the man there,” and started firing. In the second murder, a 22-year-old male was shot and died yesterday at approximately 11.40 a.m. in a cemetery in Tunapuna.
When officers from the Tunapuna Police Station learned that a shootout was happening at the Streatham Lodge Cemetery in Tunapuna, they hurried to the area, but the firing had already ended by the time they got there.
They discovered Justin Glasgow’s body from Lashley Street in Tunapuna a short while afterward.
He was discovered face-down over a three-foot wall in a shed close to the cemetery’s entrance with gunshot wounds to his head and back, according to the police.
Near his body, 18 spent shells were discovered.
