Taxi Driver Fatally Shot in San Juan

San Juan, Trinidad — Police are investigating the murder of a Santa Cruz taxi driver who was gunned down in San Juan on Sunday morning.

The victim has been identified as 43-year-old Alexis O’Conner of La Canoa Road, Santa Cruz.

According to reports, residents of La Fortune Hill, off Laventille Road, heard gunfire around 10 a.m. When they checked, they found O’Conner slumped behind the steering wheel of his AD Wagon taxi, his body riddled with bullets.

Officers from the North Eastern Division Task Force, including Cpl Daniel and PCs Gay, Khan, Jeffers, and Morris, quickly responded to the scene.

While investigating, police received additional information that another man had been shot inside a nearby house. That victim was rushed to the hospital in a private vehicle, but his condition remains unknown.

Homicide Region 1 and SERU CSI officers processed the scene. District Medical Officer Dr. Kalloo pronounced O’Conner dead and ordered his body removed to the Forensic Science Centre.

The investigation is ongoing as police work to determine a motive for the shooting.

Decomposed Body Washes Ashore at Balandra Beach

Balandra, Trinidad — Police are working to identify a decomposed body that washed ashore at Balandra Beach on Sunday morning, marking the second body found along the northeast coast over the weekend.

The discovery was made around 8:30 a.m. by a villager who had been husking coconuts nearby. He was alerted by a foul odor and a flock of corbeaux circling the shoreline. Upon closer inspection, he found the body of a man lying on the beach in an advanced state of decomposition.

Reports indicate that the body was missing its right leg, and the face was unrecognizable. The villager immediately notified officers at the Matura Police Station, and a team led by Insp. Sankar, Sgt. Hazel, and PCs Ragoonath and Francis responded to the scene.

Authorities believe the deceased may be linked to a group of Venezuelan nationals reportedly traveling on a pirogue that was allegedly targeted by a U.S. Navy strike off Venezuela last week. The vessel was said to have been controlled by members of the Tren de Aragua gang and involved in drug trafficking.

The body was removed to the Sangre Grande Hospital mortuary, pending a postmortem examination ordered by District Medical Officer Dr. Belgrave.

This latest find follows another grim discovery on Friday, when a badly decomposed body was located on the Cumana coastline. That body was missing its right hand and foot, had burns on the torso, and was found with a piece of clothing wrapped around the neck.

Police investigations remain ongoing.

6-Year-Old Boy Injured in Fatal Minneapolis Carjacking Crash Faces Long Road to Recovery

MINNEAPOLIS — A 6-year-old boy is fighting through serious injuries after a deadly crash in north Minneapolis claimed the lives of his mother and another woman.

The crash happened Thursday morning on Olson Memorial Highway at Penn Avenue North when 45-year-old Troy Mike Payton of St. Paul sped through a red light while fleeing police in a stolen vehicle. Payton’s car slammed into another vehicle carrying Liberty Borg and Marisa Casebolt, both 25, of Minneapolis.

Borg and Casebolt suffered catastrophic injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene. Borg’s son, Greyson, survived but sustained severe injuries, including two broken legs and a traumatic brain injury.

According to a GoFundMe page created by family members, Greyson has already undergone surgery but still has a “long journey ahead” in both his physical and emotional recovery.

“Along with his physical pain, he is experiencing emotional pain with the grief of losing his mother,” the fundraiser states.

A second GoFundMe has been set up to help cover funeral expenses for Borg. “As we try to process this overwhelming loss, we are now faced with the unexpected costs of arranging her funeral and honoring her memory in a way that reflects the beautiful person she was,” the family wrote.

Court documents reveal Payton’s crime spree began when he allegedly carjacked a woman at gunpoint near Lake Street and 4th Avenue South earlier that morning. He then fled in the stolen car, leading police on a chase before running the red light that caused the deadly crash.

Payton now faces two counts of fleeing police resulting in death and one count of causing great bodily harm while fleeing police. He remains in custody.
