A man found murdered at the wheel of a silver Audi sedan in Carlsen Field on Tuesday has been identified as Raidal Persad, 53, of Riverview Park, Montrose, Chaguanas.

The incident occurred around 5:45 p.m., when residents reported hearing multiple gunshots, and observed several vehicles fleeing the area at high speed. Upon checking, they discovered the Audi parked with its running lights on along a quiet side road in the crime-troubled community.

Inside the vehicle, Persad, casually dressed, was found slumped across the centre console, with multiple gunshot wounds to his body. Investigators noted a bullet hole in the driver’s side door, with the window rolled down, suggesting he may have been ambushed at close range.
