Couple in ICU after attack that killed 13-year-old

A deadly shooting that left a 13-year-old dead at a Marabella residential property on Thursday night has left two injured adults in a precarious medical state, with the pair still receiving critical care at the San Fernando General Hospital’s intensive care unit. The young victim, Krishan Khanhai, was pronounced dead at the scene of the attack, which unfolded at a home on Tramline Road in Union Park East. The two wounded victims—43-year-old Krishna Khanhai and 53-year-old Leela Pariag—were rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment following the gunfire, while a 5-year-old child who escaped to a nearby neighbor’s house escaped the incident uninjured. Law enforcement investigators working the case have said they believe the shooting was carried out during an attempted or completed robbery at the home of the couple, who worked as local street food vendors selling doubles, a popular local flatbread wrap dish. When first responders arrived at the property, crime scene investigators recovered three spent 9mm bullet casings from the area of the shooting. A close relative of the injured couple, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the pair’s condition remains unstable as they receive ongoing intensive care. The relative declined to share further details about the incident or the family’s reaction to the violence, only reiterating that the two wounded adults were not showing signs of improvement as of the latest update from medical teams. Local residents have expressed shock over the violent incident in the quiet residential community, with law enforcement yet to announce any arrests or identify potential suspects connected to the shooting. Investigators are still reviewing evidence collected from the crime scene and interviewing witnesses to piece together the sequence of events that led to the fatal attack.
