AN Enterprise, Chaguanas, man was shot and killed on Wednesday night outside his home.

Melville Phillip, 44, also known as “Big Boy,” of Tobago Road, Enterprise, was killed around 8.16 pm.

Reports indicate that Phillip was washing his car under a shed in his yard.

He walked to the front of the house where he was confronted by two masked men, both armed and both dressed in black.

They opened fire, killing him on the spot before escaping.

The loud shots alerted his wife and others in the area who called the police.

Homicide Region 3 and crime scene investigators responded.

They recovered 11 projectiles and 34 spent shells.

In 2014, Phillip’s twin brother, Marlon, was also shot to death.

Police say a motive for the killing is yet unknown.
