Trincity/Maloney MP Camille Robinson-Regis has extended heartfelt condolences after the tragic shooting and subsequent death of teenager Zwade Alleyne as she called for stronger measures to protect communities and gun control.

In a statement to Newsday on May 16, just one day after Alleyne, 17, lost a five-day battle for his life, Robinson-Regis lamented the devastating loss and the ongoing threat posed by illegal guns.

Alleyne was struck by a stray bullet on May 10, while standing near the front door of his Building 12 apartment in Maloney Gardens.
