The Beetham Gardens man who was fined $400 after pleading guilty to kicking water on then acting attorney general Fitzgerald Hinds was killed by police on Tuesday night.

Police said sometime after 10 pm members of the Port of Spain Task Force were on patrol in Beetham Gardens in an unmarked police car. They said they were shot at and returned fire, fatally wounding Richard "Snake" Marcelle.

Marcelle, 35, of 17th Street, was charged with assault by beating and use of obscene language for the 2018 attack on Hinds and councillor Akil Audain. Only Hinds filed a police complaint. The two men had visited the area after days of flooding and were chased by residents who kicked and threw floodwater on them.

Ah just cannot believe what is going on in T&T ...
This is crazy with all the murders every day .
T&T will soon lose one generation of young men...

Young men between the ages of 16 and 34 are the main victims of this, in 2021, 210 young males between the ages of 16 and 34 died from gun violence, and 150 have already died this way in 2022.986 young men of this same age were charged for possession of firearms and ammunition and for 2022, 600 have already been charged.

This year, 45 young men between 16 and 34 years old have also been charged with murder.In 2021, 210 young males between the ages of 16 and 34 died by gun violence, and 150 have already died this way in 2022.

We should be celebrating our 60th birthday, but then again there is nothing to celebrate.

So sad... sad sad
