ARIMA North Secondary football coach Wayne Sheppard reflected on the tragic death of former 17-year-old footballer and student Ezekiel Ramdialsingh, describing him as a talented young man whose work ethic and passion for football set him apart.

Ramdialsingh, who also ran a car wash at his family’s home in Phase Four La Horquetta, Arima, was shot and killed on April 15 after returning from a political meeting.

He had been liming with friends at a shop in Phase Four when a gunman approached the group and opened fire before running away.
