A man was killed and a shotgun seized during a Police-involved shooting incident which occurred in the Eastern Division, early Monday morning (27th October, 2025).

Reports indicate that Officers of the Mayaro Criminal Investigations Department (CID) received information of a man armed with a gun in the Guayaguayare district, around 2:00 AM.

Upon arrival at the location, the Officers observed a man run into a wooden structure and retrieve an object that appeared to be a firearm from under a bed.

The man is alleged to have pointed the object at the Officers and several clicking sounds were then heard. The Officers gave the man verbal commands to put down the weapon, but he did not comply.

The wounded man was taken to the Mayaro Health Facility for emergency medical treatment, where he subsequently died. He has since been identified as Ainsley Glenn Gonzales of Mayaro. 

A sawed-off shotgun was recovered from the scene.
