Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander has urged the family of the Trinis allegedly killed aboard a "drug boat" from Venezuela to file a missing-persons report at the nearest police station.

On October 14, a US missile strike destroyed a boat in international waters and killed six alleged drug traffickers. The family of a Las Cuevas man claim their relative was aboard the vessel as well as another Trinidadian known as "Samaroo."

It was the fifth such missile strike by the US in its battle against narco-traffickers in the southern Caribbean, leaving over 20 people dead. However, no evidence of illegal drugs aboard the boats have been presented. US President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have insisted that their intelligence on the motive of the vessels are unquestionable.
