Businessman kills bandit during robbery

bandit lay dead on a Maraval street, his gun next to him following a robbery attempt at a mini-mart yesterday.

Moments before, the man had been holding the same gun to the head of the wife of the store's owner, Joe Matamoro.

Police said two bandits entered Joe's mini-mart at Perseverance Road, Maraval, around 1.15 p.m. yesterday. The store is in the midst of a quiet area, contrasted with million dollar homes, and some humble dwellings.

The bandits arrived in a blue car-its make unknown. They entered the store which had no customers at the time. They both drew their guns.

One bandit held a gun on Matamoro's wife, while his accomplice pointed his gun at Matamoro and ordered him to the back of the mini-mart.

Police said as Matamoro was being herded towards the rear of the store, he seized the opportunity and drew his licensed firearm which he kept in his waist.

Taken by surprise, the bandit panicked, turned and made a dash for the door, leaving behind his partner. He is then said to have escaped in the car.

A senior police officer at the scene said Matamoro approached the bandit holding his wife. His gun was still drawn and he ordered the man to drop his gun.

The man reportedly then moved the gun away from Matamoro wife's head, turned it on Matamoro and shouted "What wrong with you? You f-- joking?"

Police said Matamoro then fired three times at the man, hitting him in the chest.

He too ran out of the building but his escape was short. He collapsed in the middle of Perseverance Road and died, hardly bleeding from his wounds.

Residents said they had never seen the dead bandit before. They had little sympathy for him. One said it was speedy justice.
On the dead man's body police found his mobile phone with recently dialed numbers believed to be his accomplice's. Police said their first course of business was to identify the man and catch his partner.

Corporal Rivas of the Maraval Police is leading the investigation

BY CAMILLE CLARKE

A MAN who attempted to rob a Maraval grocery in the upscale community of Haleland Park, yesterday, was shot dead by the owner.

After being robbed on five previous occasions, Joe Matamoro, owner of Joe’s Mini-Mart on Perseverance Road, shot and killed the unidentified man who attempted to rob his shop.

Another suspect is still at large.

Police reported that around 1 pm, Matamoro’s wife Eveling was at the cash register when two armed men entered his shop.

One of them pointed a gun at Eveling and told Matamoro to go around the back. Matamoro turned around the corner and managed to pull out his licensed revolver.

The would-be thief then said: “Don’t skylark!” and pointed the gun at Matamoro, who fired at the thieves several times.

One of them ran and jumped into a car that was parked by the sidewalk.

The other robber ran about 100 feet then dropped dead in the middle of the street.

He was shot three times in the chest, investigators said.

Crime scene personnel and Western Division police cordoned off the area.

Special Anti-Crime Unit officers fingerprinted the body and dusted the crime scene.

Up to late yesterday evening, the dead man, who is of African descent, had not been identified by the police.

When Guardian reporters visited the scene, the body was still on the ground with his revolver nearby.

The body was viewed by the District Medical Officer and ordered removed to the Forensic Science Centre for identification and an autopsy.

In an interview, a Canadian visitor who declined to give her name, said she was shocked over the situation.

It was scary! I was about to go to the same shop when I heard people running on the street and I saw the police.”

She said crime in Trinidad was terrible.

Maraval and Western Division Police are continuing inquiries.

d1onlysexysugar, I can see yuh upset but I honestly believe this board is not the place for you to express that.

If I were in your position I would delete this thread, as I doubt reading the type of responses you are likely to get is going to make you feel any better.

Big up Joe

recently here there was a case where a man got shot by Police. Well the man's family said that the police over re-acted as he was CHANGING his ways and was a GOOD man.
read the story and come to your own conclusion

here is a short quote from the story

"Victoria police shot and killed John Seguin, 37, after a short high-speed chase through a residential neighbourhood on Saturday. Three officers opened fire after they say Seguin tried to run them over with a stolen SUV while they were standing near a roadblock at Hillside Avenue and Blackwood Street."
what this quote fails to show is that he turned his car around and was coming back towards the police for a second go at it all.

My point is that he made a descision and his family has to accept the outcome now
it is VERY sad that a fellow human has to die but he choose this outcome.

Perhaps others might think twice before trying to rob ah parlourman.
Make no mistake this youth would have killed those people, so parlourman did what he had to do given the situation. SAD though.

This is an unfortunate situation. It's sad when these things become so common place in our beloved country. When I lived in trini I never knew about this kind of behavior and i ain't that old. It really saddens me that this is what we've come to.

yeh! I'm not really condoning this type of criminal behavior, but it seem to me that there are some people on this board who are overly glad the kid met his demise. do i need to remind you that while petty crime is on the up surge the same could be said for big crimes as well. and it seems to me no one is paying it that much attention instead all eyes are focused on these nickle and dimmers. is it because we were trained that way, to ignore big bobol while petty criminals are paraded as the ultimate monsters. for years most of these well to do trinidadians so called untouchables, were raping and pillaging the country's resources unnoticed to the untrained eye while life went on as usual around them. these east P.O.S. areas and further east, or the eastern corridor were neglected from the word go! little to no opportunities were afforded to these folks and their progeny, pre oil boom, oil boom, and post oil boom era's. I'm not an expert on sociology but any fool with a keen eye can predict the out come of such social injustice. NJAC showed us that in 1970, but again people were caught up in their attire more than the message they delivered. before that uprising Trinidad was the perfect model of post colonialism, lack of opportunity for darker skin people who were relegated to jobs such as gardening and house keeping while the french creoles and whites enjoyed the best T&T had to offer.enough about that. i truly sympathize with Mr matamoro and i wish him all the best, no one should have to experience what he's been through. but all the same until proper opportunities are created for the less fortunate and the equal distribution of the oil wealth is established, and our ports are fully secured as well as our coastal shores, and the proper agencies are in place for the thorough investigations and auditing of the income of the wealthy. until then crime is here to stay!!! positive.

And just how are jobs going to be created when people villify the business class and people with money. Is not dem supposed to create the same opportunities?

And what does equal distribution of oil money mean exactly?

Sorry, but unemployment in TnT is not an excuse these days. Anyone who wants a job can get one - we actually importing labour. You can even get paid to educate yourself on certain government programmes.

yuh is a real mad man oui.

ah doh agree with your conclusions at all. what big crime does gun down people in their own shop and business? is this kind of talk about what a trini "entitled" to that does keep people back. they have alot of these kinds of people up here in canada that does think govt owe them. say what you want about the usa, they pride themselves on being able to stand on their own. some of these americans saying they would rather die than take anything from their govt (true story). trini have people - poor people too - that are willing to work and give to the country instead of extorting social equality via crime, kidnapping like is one victim at a time. is you people standing quiet and enabling these criminals by your silence that should be at the other end of the gun. steups
