An ear­ly morn­ing shoot­ing in Laven­tille end­ed with the deaths of three men, po­lice say.

Sources con­firmed that Keon Alexan­der, Dwayne Alexan­der and Jesse Nel­son were lim­ing out­side their home at Mc­Shine Lands, Laven­tille, at around 1 am when they were con­front­ed by a group of men with as­sault ri­fles who shot them be­fore es­cap­ing through near­by tracks.

Of­fi­cers of the Port of Spain Task Force were called in and found the bod­ies of the men.

"A dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer was al­so called in and de­clared the trio dead."

Po­lice said the trio were rel­a­tives and all lived at the home.
