A chilling incident unfolded on the evening of November 7 in the quiet community of Salick Trace, Guapo, Point Fortin, when 27-year-old Josiah ‘Cake’ Phillip was fatally shot by an unidentified gunman. The tragic event occurred near the intersection of Salick Trace and Augustus Trace, just a short distance from Phillip’s home. Witnesses reported that the assailant, clad in a black hoodie and dark three-quarter pants, fired a single shot to Phillip’s head before fleeing the scene. Phillip, described by his uncle Kelon Lewis as a ‘cool and quiet person,’ was rushed to the Point Fortin Hospital but was pronounced dead by Dr. Ragoobar at 8:20 pm. The victim, who was unmarried and had no children, was the only son of Lisa Lewis. His death has left his family, particularly his mother and sister, in profound grief. Relatives mentioned a prior altercation involving a threat to Phillip’s life, though no police report was filed. Law enforcement officers, including PCs Balkaransingh, Sonny, and Roopchan, responded swiftly to the scene, while the Homicide Bureau of Region Three initiated an investigation. Phillip’s body has been transferred to the San Fernando General Hospital mortuary, with a post-mortem examination scheduled at the Forensic Science Centre in St. James.
