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.
