Teen in custody for teen’s killing

The man, of Perseverance Village, Couva, walked into a police station in central and gave himself up on Monday, sources said. Up to yesterday, he remained in police custody assisting with the investigations.

A gunman shot and killed Lewis, originally from Freeport, at about 6.30 pm on Saturday while at Cemetery Extension, off Carli Bay Road in Perseverance Village.

His funeral service takes place today at the Roman Catholic Church at Gran Couva, following a viewing of the body at the house of his aunt at Pepper Village, Gran Couva. Lewis’ twin sister, Elesha, told Newsday yesterday that the family is “trying to cope” with the death.
