Guyanese man attacked, riddled with bullets in Trinidad

Guyanese national Yancy Fox is now battling for his life after being shot on Thursday evening while standing outside of his home at Orange Grove Road in St Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago.
The 40-year-old Fox remains hospitalised in stable but critical condition, sources say.

According to the Trinidad Guardian, at about 19:50h on Thursday, November 3, Fox had reportedly emerged from his home, and was standing in his front yard when he was confronted by two men wearing masks and dressed in dark clothing. They opened fire, and as Fox ran inside, he was shot in the lower left abdomen and fell to the ground.
Fox’s wife and neighbours claim they went to check on him and found him draped in blood. He was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex at Mt Hope, where he was treated and warded. Forensic officials have recovered ten 9mm spent shells at the scene.
While Fox is left counting his lucky stars, two other Guyanese nationals were not so fortunate last year, when they were murdered in this twin-island republic. In April 2021, young Guyanese fashion designer, cosmetologist and runway coach Latchman Singh, popularly known as Marcus or Marc Anthony Singh, was found dead in his El Dorado apartment by one of his roommates. He had multiple stab wounds about his body. The 27-year-old Singh originally hailed from Seventh Street Martyrsville, Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD). When Police officials arrived on the scene, they found Singh’s underwear-clad body bearing several stab wounds. It is still unclear if the killer has been found.
And in September 2021, a one-year-old Guyanese girl was killed during a bloody cutlass attack during a family quarrel over washing wares. Little Sariah Williams, who had just celebrated her first birthday, was chopped on the head and forehead as she sat in the lap of her grandmother.
Tempers had flared at the home when Sariah’s grandmother, Michelle Williams, tried helping the child’s mother wash some wares. A male relative was enraged by Michelle’s offer to help the child’s mother, and a quarrel had ensued. The man had then disappeared for a few minutes, but had returned with a cutlass with the intention of chopping Michelle. Instead, the cutlass fatally struck Sariah, who was sitting on her lap.
The baby was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital, but was unresponsive by the time she arrived there. She was later pronounced dead.
