PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Police Monday fired teargas and engaged in a gun battle with residents of Beetham Gardens, on the outskirts of the capital, protesting the killing of a 23 year-old man by police on Sunday night.
“We were making our way through one of the alleys in the Beetham, when we heard rapid gunfire, and saw resident running in our direction. The police warned us not to go forward because they were in a battle with the resident. We took heed,” Trinidad Express journalist Rickie Ramdass reported.
Residents showed their frustration over the situation by throwing debris and lighting it ablaze along East bound lanes of the Beetham Highway as well as the nearby Priority Bus Route.
