The tight-knit community of Lucas Street in St Philip is in mourning following the tragic death of 29-year-old Rajani Obrien Parris, described by neighbors as a kind and selfless individual. Parris was struck and killed by a vehicle on Foursquare Road last Tuesday night around 11:20 PM, succumbing to his injuries at the scene. Known for his unwavering generosity, Parris was remembered by a neighbor as someone who would always lend a helping hand, regardless of his own struggles. ‘Rajani was a sweet boy,’ the neighbor shared, standing near his family home. ‘He would do anything for you. It’s heartbreaking that he had to go like this.’ At the family residence, Parris’ sister Rachaela Barton and mother Suzette Barton-Greenidge expressed their profound grief, recalling him as a loving and compassionate soul. His mother revealed that Parris had no children or long-term partner and had recently stopped working, dividing his time between their home and his brother’s residence. The community continues to grapple with the loss of a young man whose kindness left a lasting impact on those who knew him.
