2 men gunned down in Arima

Autopsies at the Forensic Science Centre were postponed to today after no relatives visited the centre in St James to positively identify both bodies.

Police identified the victims as Keon Carr of Santa Rosa and Anderson Alexis of Maloney. Police said that despite their best efforts yesterday they could not locate any relative of the two to have them go to the centre to identify the bodies.

Carr and Alexis were shot dead at 10.05 pm on Wednesday while liming with another man Andrew Pyle. The trio was standing in front of the Ali Bocas car care centre near The Crossings on Tumpuna Road, when they were approached by three masked gunmen, who opened fire.

Both Carr and Alexis were struck several times and died at the scene.

Pyle was struck in the buttocks and was later taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Centre in Mt Hope for treatment. The killers escaped in a black Nissan Tiida car.
