Teen gunned down, granny shot
Ross remains warded in critical condition at San Fernando General Hospital but his friend Kimroy Marshall, 17, was shot dead. A 76-year-old woman was also wounded in the shooting incident. Ross’s mother Althea Williams said, “Just last week he told me some fellas told him that somebody wanted to kill him.
He was vex about it, because he couldn’t understand why anyone would want to kill him. We did not take it seriously because we know Devon not in that kind of life. But look at what happened now. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Williams said bullets punctured her son’s liver, kidneys and intestines. He remains at the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital.
Ross’ friend Marshall died at 5.30 am while being treated at hospital.
A long trail of blood stained Phyllis Street yesterday hours after the shooting.
“God knows,” said a distraught relative of Marshall. The relative said Marshall was an apprentice with an electrician. “He liked to work. Once you say there was work, he was ready to go,” the relative said. “You read the papers and watch TV, but you never know how bad crime is until it hits home. But vengeance is not ours, it is the Lord’s,” she said.
An eyewitness told Newsday that Marshall, Ross and others were liming along Phyllis Street when a grey CK3 Lancer car drove by slowly and men inside pointed guns at them and opened fire. “We know them fellas,” said the eyewitness. “All of us know them. We didn’t go to secondary school together, but all of us are from the same area. They from right over on Charles Street.” Also wounded in the attack was Carmen Henry, 76, who was entering a nearby gate when a stray bullet grazed her leg. No arrest has been made and investigations are continuing.
