00:00Unsuspecting gas station customers ran for cover last night as the ongoing gang warfare spilled over into the St.
00:07Christopher's gas station along Wrighton Road in Port of Spain just before 8 p.m.
00:11The target was purported gang leader of the John John and Laventille area, Jessen Superville, known by the aliases
00:18Jesse and Robo.
00:21Investigators told TV6 News that Superville had stopped to put gas in his Kia Serato at Pump 7
00:26when a white Hyundai Elantra pulled alongside.
00:30Two men came out of the vehicle, one from the front passenger seat and one from the back seat, and
00:35fired several shots hitting Superville, who later collapsed between the pump and another vehicle on the other side of the pump.
00:42The brazen gunmen, in full sight of scores of customers who ran for safety,
00:46then jumped back into the car and escaped along Wrighton Road.
00:51Scores of bystanders and motorists were parked outside the gas station
00:55moments after the shooting as police cordoned off the area to search for clues.
01:00Senior police sources say they're certain the killing is gang-related, possibly due to an ongoing rivalry in that area.
01:06Sources say that Robo had taken over the role of community leader after Anton Bombay Boni was shot dead in 2021.
