A 33-year-old father of three was shot down while walking in Sangre Grande, yesterday.
Police reports state that around 4.30 pm, Kerwin Coa aka ‘Chanta’ had just purchased KFC and mangoes and was walking along Milk Road with his girlfriend when a gunman jumped out of some bushes and began firing at him.
Coa was able to run a short distance away but fell on the roadway and died instantly.
His girlfriend escaped unharmed.
Coa was a single parent, as he was responsible for taking care of his first child, a boy, from his first relationship, while the other children lived with their mother.
