28-year-old man killed, 5 others wounded in POS shooting

A man identified as Christian Sansavoir was shot dead in a drive-by shooting in Port of Spain on Saturday night and five others wounded.

Sansavoir, 28, of Duncan Street was liming with a group of friends when the shooting took place.

The injured are Anton “Sleepy” Olliveire, who was shot in the left arm; Mathias Kingsale, who was shot in the right shoulder; Shane Duncan, who was shot in the neck, left hand, right hand and right leg; Robert Inglebert, who was shot in lower back; and Jaheim Brown, who was shot in the neck, back and right side of the face.

The vehicle used in the attack, a white Nissan Xtrail, was later discovered abandoned on St Paul Street.

Police said the escalated gang war between rival gangs Six and Seven is responsible for the current bloodshed in the capital.
