The father of Enrique Garcia, an off-duty soldier killed by police after a purported shoot-out, is denying that photos circulating of a man showing gang signs is his son.

Garcia, 25, was killed when police intercepted his red Honda Vezel in Jairasingh Village, Sangre Grande, on Sunday afternoon.

Police claimed someone in the vehicle shot at the officers, prompting them to return fire.
