Pcs Ramkissoon, Sarabjit and Wpc Ali responded and took Herminez to the Mayaro health facility, where he received medical attention; however, he succumbed to his injuries about 45 minutes later.
The police officials launched an investigation into the incident following the death of the victim. A few days later, they got hold of the suspect through some neighbours of Herminez.It was found that both the men had some ongoing disputes, and they also engaged in arguments a few times before the shooting incident. When the police officials reached the suspect's house for investigation, they found that he was on the run, which led the police to further investigation.
He was later found on January 17 and was reportedly hiding at a friend's residence in Trinidad. The charge was announced to Brandon Baptiste, aka "Posh" and "Posh Corbeau", of St Ann's Village, Mayaro, on Tuesday when he appeared before a Master of the High Court.
