The son of mur­dered busi­ness­man Dan­ny Guer­ra is among six­teen peo­ple de­tained un­der pre­ven­ta­tive de­ten­tion or­ders. Garvin Aaron Guer­ra, al­so called Gavin Aaron Guer­ra, is de­scribed as be­ing linked to the Sixx Gang and is be­lieved to have been in­volved in plan­ning re­tal­ia­to­ry shoot­ings in Va­len­cia, San­gre Grande and sur­round­ing ar­eas. It is the sec­ond time he has been held un­der a PDO. Po­lice sources said he was held in To­ba­go.

Guer­ra, 50, who was al­so the own­er of DG Homes, was shot dead on March 13 this year. His rel­a­tives, in­clud­ing his el­dest son, age 28, were un­able to at­tend his fu­ner­al af­ter re­ceiv­ing death threats. Last year, the busi­ness­man and his son were de­tained un­der PDOs for gang ac­tiv­i­ty and for an al­leged plot to kill a gov­ern­ment min­is­ter, Wayne Sturge.

The lat­est PDOs were signed by Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Roger Alexan­der be­tween March 18 and April 15, to tar­get in­di­vid­u­als linked to sev­er­al gangs, in­clud­ing the 6 Gang, 7 Gang, Ras­ta City/Sev­en, 9 Gang, and crim­i­nal groups op­er­at­ing in San­gre Grande and south­ern dis­tricts.
