A fa­ther and son were gunned down and a third rel­a­tive crit­i­cal­ly wound­ed in Cunu­pia ear­ly Tues­day morn­ing, in an am­bush that last­ed just 16 sec­onds.

An­tho­ny Joseph, 43, and his son Vikie, 20, were shot dead near the cor­ner of Mon Plaisir Road and Riv­er Road around 6:13 a.m. as they left home with 17-year-old Ri­car­do Joseph to pick co­conuts. Sur­veil­lance footage shows two masked gun­men ex­it­ing a grey Nis­san Wingroad, fir­ing at the fam­i­ly’s pick-up, and ap­pear­ing to tam­per with some­thing be­neath it be­fore flee­ing.

Ri­car­do was rushed to the Ch­agua­nas Health Cen­tre and lat­er trans­ferred to Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex in crit­i­cal con­di­tion.
