00:00Heavy gunfire rang out at Edmar Avenue in Samaru Village, Arima last night as gunmen
00:11opened fire on a group of men around 9 o'clock.
00:18Even as the gunshots rang out, police who were nearby responded.
00:23Moments later, a heavily tinted Suzuki SUV carrying the gunmen, who police say were responsible
00:29for the shooting, is seen here on CCTV footage fleeing in the opposite direction.
00:34Investigators say the SUV drove past the group of men liming at least twice before making
00:39a block and returning.
00:42A lone gunman came out and opened fire on the group.
00:45The dead men were identified as 21-year-old Emerson Boucher and 27-year-old Justin Michael.
00:52A third man, identified as 40-year-old Nigel Jamot, also from the area, was shot and injured.
00:59Investigators believe that the incident may have stemmed from an incident that was posted
01:02on social media a few days ago involving the beating of a young man who ventured into Samaru
01:08Village, but they are yet to confirm this possible theory for the killings.
01:12Meanwhile, the police are investigating the killing of 36-year-old Kenneth McElkin, who
01:17was found shot dead inside his vehicle around 10.30 last night.
