49-Year-Old Man Shot Dead In Vehicle At Queen’s Park Savannah; 9-Year-Old Son Witness Murder
A man is dead following a brazen shooting incident at the Queen’s Park Savannah (QPS) this afternoon (Thursday 30th April, 2026). The deceased has been identified as 49-year-old Masud Prosper of Belmont. His 9-year-old son reportedly witnessed the killing.
According to reports, Prosper was in the driver’s seat of a black Mitsubishi Lancer (PCB 3884), which was in the parking area in front of the food court, when gunmen opened fire on the vehicle in a sustained burst of gunshots, around 5:30 PM.
Relatives said he had gone to pick up his 9-year-old son from football practice when the shooting occurred. The boy reportedly witnessed his father’s killing.
Police and Emergency Health Services were notified and responded. However, Prosper, who was shot multiple times about the body, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A District Medical Officer (DMO) ordered the body removed to the Forensic Science Centre, where an autopsy is pending.
While the incident forced some people to abandon their daily exercise at the savannah, many others continued their normal routines. Food vendors continued setting up as usual, serving customers who were unaware that a man had been gunned down a short distance away.
Police are currently at the scene.
Investigations are continuing into the circumstances surrounding the killing.
More on this as it becomes available.
