A man from Basilon Street, Port of Spain, has been sentenced to concurrent prison terms for the 2022 murder of a Harpe Place man and firearm-related offences in a plea agreement approved by the High Court.

Justice Nalini Singh sentenced Rasheed Mustafa on September 22, after approving his plea deal with the State, and calculating deductions for his guilty plea, time spent and his efforts at rehabilitation. He was left with a final sentence of four years, seven months and 11 days left to serve.

Mustafa, 18 at the time of the crime, admitted guilt under the felony murder construct in connection with the August 24, 2022, shooting death of Jevon Roberts in Belmont. He also pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition.
