(Trinidad Express) Police suspect that Monday evening’s murder of a funeral home employee in Laventille is a reprisal for last week’s killing of another man at the same place.

Police said around 6.25 p.m. Clyde Johnson, 34, of Alexis Street, Morvant, was standing outside Simpson’s Funeral Agency and Chapel at Eastern Main Road, Laventille, with two other people when a silver Toyota Yaris car stopped near them.

Two gunmen got out and opened fire on Johnson, striking him several times about the body.

He fell to the ground as the men got back into the car, which sped off.
