56-Year-Old Businessman Dies At Hospital Following Armed Robbery In Gulf View
A man has died at Hospital, days after a shooting incident during a robbery at his sales tent in Gulf View on Saturday night (14th February, 2026). The deceased has been identified as 56-year-old Vijay Nanan of Rousillac.
According to reports, the businessman and his employee, 40-year-old Yudelcy Martinez, were conducting sales at his tent along Gulf View Link Road, when two (2) men dressed in dark clothing stormed in and announced a robbery, around 7:00 PM.
Nanan allegedly refused to surrender and armed himself with a cutlass, in an attempt to defend his employee and the day’s earnings. A struggle ensued between Nanan and the bandits inside the small tent. Moments later, three (3) loud explosions were heard.
When the chaos ended, Nanan was found bleeding from a gunshot wound to the abdomen and Martinez with a gunshot wound to the left arm. The gunmen fled West along the roadway with an undisclosed sum of cash, believed to be the day’s sales.
Police and Emergency Health Services were notified. Officers from the San Fernando Police Station responded and both victims were rushed to the San Fernando General Hospital for emergency medical treatment. However, Nanan succumbed to his injuries several days later.
He is said to have suffered a heart attack in 2018 and was later diagnosed with kidney failure, enduring dialysis and constant medical treatment since then.
Investigations are continuing into the robbery and fatal shooting.
More on this as it becomes available.
