CNC3 freelance correspondent Kelly Ann Lemessy was shot and killed on Thursday afternoon while seated in her vehicle at her apartment complex along the Naparima/Mayaro Road, in the vicinity of Lazzari Village near Rio Claro.

The mother of three was ambushed while parked in the yard of the apartment she was renting. Police said Lemessy was shot multiple times while seated in the driver’s seat of her car and died at the scene.

The killing comes seven months after Lemessy’s sister, Cassie-Ann Lemessy, 41, of Church Road, Mayaro, was murdered in a similar style attack. Cassie-Ann was shot multiple times while driving and later died in her vehicle in June last year.
