Deon Marshall, a Guyanese national who resided at Mount Pleasant in Arima, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, has been shot dead at his place of business along Queen Street in Arima on Tuesday evening at about 20:00h.
The Guardian newspaper has reported that the 45-year-old father was at his business place, the Mix Master Punch Bar, known for its drinks, hotdogs, burgers and ice cream, when a gunman approached him and opened fire. The motive behind the killing is still unclear, and police investigations are ongoing.
Marshall, who had been affectionately known as the “Punch Man,” had earned a reputation in the Arima community for his entrepreneurial spirit and friendly nature. Despite living in Trinidad for some time, he had remained deeply connected to his Guyanese roots.
