Laventille: Police are tonight investigating a murder in Laventille, which they now fear is part of the resumption of gang violence in the area.
Reports are that Javon williams, a resident of Straker Village, Laventille was shot dead at around 9.45 am at La Resource Road, Laventille.
Police found the body of the man lying in a pool of blood with several bullet wounds to his body.
Police believe the killing could be related to an eruption of gang violence at Beverly Hills on Wednesday night in which one man was shot and two homes firebombed.
A vehicle owned by someone associated with a well known gang in the area was also firebombed.
Sources confirm that prior to the recently concluded State of Emergency gangs from the surrounding areas of Beverly Hills, East Dry River, Canada, John John, Africa, Beetham, Sea Lots, Dan
Kelly and others had been warring but that things quieted down during the State of Emergency.
Investigators now fear a resumption of gang violence.
