00:00A six-year-old boy remains hospitalized tonight after being shot in both legs
00:05during a brutal gun attack on his family Saturday night. The attack claimed the
00:10lives of his mother, her common-law husband and her brother.
00:30There are 47-year-old Anecia James, her older brother Anselm James and her
00:40common-law husband, 30-year-old Mitchell Francois. Police at the scene said they
00:46are pursuing a gang-related motive.
01:16There's been online speculation that the murders could be linked to a recent
01:32incident involving someone from the area. However, a relative dismissed the claim.
01:47The shooting occurred just after 10 p.m. on Saturday on La Retreat
02:05extension just off Dump Road in Guanapo, an area that has seen heavy police
02:09presence since the 2023 shooting deaths of four teenagers. Despite this, the
02:15relative expressed frustration over the police response.
02:45Is it that you'll have problems with corrupt officers or something if you're
02:51saying that that is the case?
03:09So you're not hopeful of getting any justice here?
03:14The gunmen are said to have escaped down a track through an orange field opposite
03:20the murder scene. Renessa Cutting, TV6 News.
