The 19-year-old ran and collapsed by the St. Lucia Marketing Board where he died.
In the other incident, 30-year-old security guard, Vinton Stephen Clement, also known as Tanny, was fatally shot when two masked men invaded an area called “The Slab” in Faux-A-Chaud, Castries, firing shots randomly around 12:57 a.m. on Saturday, July 12.
