Bandit killed during Chinese grocery robbery identified

A man who was killed moments after the murder of businessman Nicholas Zhu during a robbery at his San Juan grocery on Good Friday, has been identified as Tobagonian Kishonte Reid.

Reid was originally from Pembroke, police said.

Zhu, the owner of Golden City Supermarket, was attacked just after closing hours.
CCTV footage which went viral, showed Zhu walking from his van after retrieving an envelope.
A short while after exiting the frame, three masked men were seen fleeing after the sound of multiple gunshots. Zhu was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt Hope Hospital where he died.

After Zhu’s shooting, police responded and confronted Reid who was killed during an ensuing shootout.
