According to reports, Keino Barnum was driving his red-coloured Nissan Note car along Furness Withy Street, off Erica Street, when the driver of a white vehicle opened fire on Barnum’s car. The front seat passenger jumped out of the vehicle and ran away but Barnum was struck multiple times.

Nearby residents alerted police and Barnum was rushed to the Post-of-Spain General Hospital but he was pronounced dead on arrival.
