Arima Man Shot Dead During Confrontation With Police In Sangre Grande
A man is dead following a Police-involved shooting incident in Sangre Grande last night (Thursday 25th September, 2025). The deceased has been identified as Mustapha Gulab of Buena Vista Street, Arima.
According to reports, Officers on mobile patrol, around 7:05 PM, attempted to intercept a white Toyota Hilux that appeared suspicious, near the SWAHA Hindu College along the Cunapo Southern Main Road. However, as they approached the vehicle, the driver allegedly opened fire on Officers, prompting them to return fire.
The vehicle came to a stop at Coalmine Bridge, where Officers discovered Gulab had been shot. He was transported to the Sangre Grande Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police allege an AR-15 rifle and eleven (11) rounds of ammunition were recovered at the scene.
Crime scene investigators also recovered several spent shells.
This latest Police-involved shooting death follows another incident on Sunday 21st September, 2025, when Officers of the North Central Division Gang and Intelligence Unit shot and killed soldier Enrique Garcia and his neighbour, Shyien Trancoso, aka ‘Nookie,’ at Coalmine in Sangre Grande.
Investigations are continuing.
More on this as it becomes available.
