Two of the people — a 13-year-old and a 23-year-old — who appeared in a video circulating on social media that shows a group of men shooting guns in the air in Maloney, have surrendered to police.
The teenager was accompanied by his grandmother when he surrendered to the Maloney Police Station on Wednesday, while the 23-year-old walked into the Arouca Police Station and gave himself up to the police.
T&T Guardian, during a visit to the Maloney area yesterday, was told the video was shot during the ringing in of the New Year 2016. It took place at Building 21.
A police source yesterday confirmed that a third man is in prison allegedly for a murder that occurred earlier this year at Building 16 in Maloney.
When the T&T Guardian went to the area yesterday, one of the men was seen liming with a group of young men under a tree in front of Building 20 in Maloney. When he saw the T&T Guardian’s photographer he attempted to take cover.
Residents, who wished not to be identified, said the men were drinking and having a good time on Old Year’s night and at the countdown, began shooting in the air, as they ushered in 2016.
Police sources say that they are yet to locate two other men and two women, who were also shown in the video.
