Shaquille Charles, a Parts World employee from Mon Repos Road, Morvant, was shot and killed in the car park of a business along Eastern Main Road, Barataria on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 in broad daylight. Police responded to the scene shortly after the shooting and launched investigations into the murder. Investigators believe the killing is linked to the escalating Chinapoo and Mon Repos gang feud, and sources indicate it may be a reprisal attack following Saturday's triple murder at Unipet Gas Station in Laventille. According to sources, Charles was allegedly targeted because he lived in the Mon Repos community, which has been at the centre of violent conflict with rivals from Chinapoo, though one source claimed he was not known to be involved in criminal activity. CCTV footage captured the brazen daylight murder.
