Shot driver remains warded

Police sources said yesterday, based on information given to them by doctors at the San Fernando General Hospital where Mohammed warded, he is ‘out of the woods.’ Mohammed’s close friend, businessman Naim Caliph, 35, was shot in his Range Rover after he and Mohammed left the opening of a nightclub at South Park Mall. Mohammed drove to the Mon Repos Police Station where Caliph, of Naparima/ Mayaro Road, Palmyra Village, was pronounced dead.

He was in the front passenger seat.

Reports are that gunmen in a white AD wagon opened fire on Caliph’s white Range Rover (PCX 6786) along the Tarouba Link Road near the Solomon Hochoy Highway.

Police said Mohammed was also shot and was in a weakened state but manage to alert police officers at the station by honking the horn of the vehicle.

There were 11 bullet holes in the vehicle including a shattered window on the front passenger side.
