Mohammed was in the front yard of his home on Katwaroo Trace, Penal in south Trinidad, around 9:15 a.m. on December 12 when a car pulled up next to him and a man armed with a handgun got out. The gunman approached the 46-year-old and shot him several times before driving off.

Police responding to the shooting intercepted a vehicle in which Jacob and Harroo were traveling and one Glock 17 pistol with six rounds of nine-millimeter ammunition was found. The two were arrested as suspects in Mohammed’s murder.
