A 27-year-old man was shot dead on Tuesday afternoon along Councilman Circular, Morvant, in what police are investigating as a suspected revenge attack.

The deceased, Isiah Akeem Richards, also known as “Bum Bum,” of 4th Street Upper, 6th Avenue, Malick, was reportedly in the company of a resident performing masonry work at a home on Councilman Drive when he left the premises to relieve himself nearby. Shortly thereafter, witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots.

Police officers arrived at the scene around 2:38 p.m. and found Richards lying on the roadway with multiple gunshot wounds with spent shell casings nearby. He was conveyed to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex by a resident, where he was pronounced dead at 2:44 p.m.
