Man Shot And Killed By Police In Laventille

By Newsroom

A man identified as Anthony Daniel was killed by police at St. Barbs Road, Laventille, last night.

Port of Spain Task Force officers were responding to a report of a man armed with a gun at the location.

The officers say they identified Daniel as the suspect, after which he  attempted to flee, prompting police to begin a chase.

Police allege that Daniel shot at the officers who, “fearful for their lives”, returned fire striking the assailant.

Daniel was later taken to the Port of Spain General Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

No officers were injured in last night’s incident.

Police say Daniel had been charged for robbery in the Central Division in 2020 and was out on bail. He was also well-known to the Police.
