Gunmen opened fire on a group of people in San Juan this morning, killing two people and injuring three more. Investigators said that the incident occurred just before 9am at the corner of Second Avenue and Saddle Road in San Juan. Police say four gunmen in a Toyota Yaris motor car pulled up to the group and opened fire. Reynold Victor, who police believe was the original target, was shot multiple times and killed at the scene, while four others were also hit, including Jelissa Payne. According to sources, Payne, 35, died later at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex. Another woman was shot in the back and right knee and is in critical condition. According to police, a 59-year-old guy was shot in the left knee and back, while a 40-year-old man was wounded in the right knee and buttocks. Police sources say the hit on Reynold came from behind the prison walls as a message to his brother Arnold Victor, who is also imprisoned. Arnold Victor, aka Fox, has been in prison since 2009 on a charge of allegedly murdering Vegas gang leader Sean “Bill” Francis on the 26th of April 2009 while at a dumpster near his home. Fox had taken control of the Vegas community after Francis was murdered but he and three other men were subsequently arrested and charged with the alleged capital offense. In January 2010, Tekron Hill and Andy Ferriera were freed of Francis’ killing by then Port of Spain Magistrate Avason Quinlan, who ruled that a prima facie case was not made out against them. However the following month, Quinlan committed Fox and Matthew Perpignac to stand trial at the High Court on charges of allegedly murdering Francis. Fox was accused of controlling the Vegas community from behind bars and calling many shots from behind prison walls. He made more enemies than friends and as the gang culture changed on the outside, most of his loyal soldiers were either gunned down, killed by the police, charged with murder or simply disappeared. The killing of Fox’s brother may have been as a result of a recent fallout Fox had with someone. Reynold and his mother had built a house in Vegas Morvant but were forced to leave and relocate to San Juan after their lives were threatened.
