The IT Manager at the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) was shot dead in Charlieville on Wednesday night.
Police have already classified the death as a hit.
The dead man was identified as Sa-id Hamid Khan, 38, of Mohammed Lane, Chaguanas.
According to police reports, Khan was seated inside his Honda Vezel SUV -PEJ 7033 – in the car park of General Accident Insurance Company, when another vehicle pulled up and blocked his path.
A man then exited that vehicle and approached Khan before opening fire, striking him multiple times.
