Christian Mohammed, died at hospital on Saturday, after fighting for his life for almost 24 hours. Mohammed is the second fatality in a shooting incident which occurred on Friday afternoon.

According to reports, Mohammed, another man in his early 20s, a woman identified as Candice, 20, and 22-year-old Terrence Patrick were sitting at the front porch of a house on John Street, Enterprise, Chaguanas when two men approached the group and opened fire.

All four persons were shot several times. They were taken to the Chaguanas Health Facility, where Patrick was pronounced dead.

Mohammed and the three other victims were taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex.

Police claim that Patrick was a member of a well-known gang which operates out of Chaguanas. Homicide detectives are working on the theory that the group was attacked by members of a rival gang. Autopsies on the two dead men are expected to be done at the Forensic Science Centre in St James today
