(Trinidad Express) On the day he made a policer report about a police officer harassing him, a Carapo may was killed by three men who pulled up outside his home on Monday

The deceased has been identified as Roger ‘Wasa’ Cabie of Simon Street, Carapo.

Police were told that at about 6.20p.m. Cabie was at his home when a vehicle pulled up.

Three men exited and residents said they heard rapid gunfire with at least ‘20 distinct’ shots’.

Cabie was found on the ground, having been shot multiple times.

Residents claimed that the three men who exited the vehicle ‘looked like police’.
