Act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Mc­Don­ald Ja­cob has strong­ly con­demned the brazen and heinous killing of Spe­cial Re­serve Po­lice(SRP) Po­lice Con­sta­ble Kyle Lash­ley, last night in Les Coteaux, To­ba­go.

Re­ports in­di­cate PC Lash­ley, who was last at­tached to Crown Point Po­lice Sta­tion, was in the com­pa­ny of friends around 7:10 pm, on Sat­ur­day 12th No­vem­ber 2022, at Prov­i­dence Road, when a black Kia Cer­a­to mo­tor ve­hi­cle stopped along­side them and two armed men ex­it­ed.

One of the men pro­ceed­ed to re­lieve PC Lash­ley of a gold chain and fired sev­er­al shots at him. The men then en­tered the ve­hi­cle which sped off.

Of­fi­cers of the Mo­ri­ah Po­lice Sta­tion re­spond­ed and con­veyed PCLash­ley to the Scar­bor­ough Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal where he was pro­nounced dead on ar­rival.

Act­ing Com­mis­sion­er Ja­cob says all re­sources of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice and Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty will be brought to bear in the in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the killing of the young of­fi­cer and the is­land will be scoured un­til the per­pe­tra­tors of the crime are brought to jus­tice.

He says at this time a con­tin­gent of of­fi­cers from the In­ter-Agen­cy­Task Force and per­son­nel from the Trinidad and To­ba­go De­fence Force are in the To­ba­go Di­vi­sion as­sist­ing of­fi­cers there in the ap­pre­hen­sion of the of­fend­ers in the short­est pos­si­ble time.

Act­ing Com­mis­sion­er Ja­cob ex­tends sin­cer­est con­do­lences on be­half of the Ex­ec­u­tive of the TTPS to the fam­i­ly and col­leagues of Lash­ley.
