THE chief executive of a small company which recovers vehicles using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology was shot on Friday night and later died at the Port of Spain General Hospital.
Rawle Francis, 38, was the CEO of GPS Experts and, according to the police, around 10.45 p.m. on Friday he and his girlfriend, Rachel Chase, were returning to his car that had been parked along Jerningham Avenue, Belmont, after just having purchased corn soup from the food-vending area at Queen’s Park East.
Police said a masked gunman walked up to Francis and opened fire, hitting him several times, before running off.
Francis’s girlfriend got into the driver’s seat of his car and took him to the Port of Spain General Hospital nearby. He was immediately treated, but at 4.30 a.m. Francis succumbed to his injuries.
The Sunday Express also spoke to a few of Francis’s friends who took to social media to vent their anger over his death, while calling for “something” to be done.
One of his friends, who did not want to be named, said he was one of the founding members of a local car enthusiast website but he recently left the company and was no longer associated with it.
He said his version of what happened to Francis differed from that of the police.
He said he was told Francis was in the midst of pursuing a stolen vehicle in Belmont, during which the shooting incident occurred in the Jerningham Avenue area.
The police said they knew nothing about that.
The friend said Francis recently created GPS Experts and it was a company doing well and expanding.
The murder toll for 2014 stood at 59 up to last night, while the toll last year at the same time was 44.

About Us

There is an old proverb "Self-Praise Is No Praise". Yeh Right, not in beautiful Trinidad & Tobago.

This site is dedicated to all the showoffs, flammers and glamour men and women with their hot rides here in sweet T&T.
You spend your money on all those expensive and sometimes illegal toys you deserve all the glamour you could get! We here to help.

We are a bunch of car fanatics who happen to be Tech Guru's and Web Slaves. We all work in the newmedia field developing websites etc. and we all eat, sleep and drink car. We decided that people can't seem to get enough of the hot new Import Race Scene. Whenever we head to the magazine stands we are either late or only one issue of Sport Compact Car or Turbo Magazine is left. Damn………

With the demand for Civics, Sentras, A4s, Evolutions and other peppy cars at an all time high here in T&T we felt obligated and compelled to grab this niche market, slap a 2.2 Turbo MIVEC in it and fly.

This site allows browsers near and far to experience the hot TRINI Import Scene and it will also allow local enthusiasts to become more aware of what is available locally in the realms of Technical and Mechanical Support, products, problems and solutions for the cars that you drive, not models that Japanese or Americans drive. Our FORUM will afford you the opportunity to post a query or a question and have a response or solution to your query submitted by any knowledgeable party. Also, if you have a dread ride it just might be caught buy our roaming reporters and end up on this site in The GALLERY or in the SHOWCASE.

Always a nice person to me. Knew him since I was 17 and started racing in wallers

RIP Rawle.

[demented]

RIP condolences to the family

[Team Loco]

Knew him since the day tuner born. Sad sad sad

[*$kїđž!™]

Whats the fate of GPS Experts now?

[TEAM ADT]

RIP...Had the opportunity to work with Rawle for a few years can honestly say i learnt alot.Condolences..I knew his wife and 3 kids not so sure about the girlfriend..But I am really sorry for his children who are now left without a father..
GPS experts most likely will not be able to run without him truly sorry for his customers..They will have to seek out a new service provider that is able to utilize the same systems only a handful of us are capable of doing so.

[killersuzuki]

I remember him from my first tuner drags, to tuner limes, car crazy shows.....he gave me advice on building my car. Cool guy. R.IP bro.

Wow I can't believe the BS im reading in that Trinidad express newspaper report. This is what happened.
At 9:01 pm a female contacted GPS Rescue and reported that her car was stolen , when we checked our database we realized that she was not our client .She then said that every thing was stolen and she didn't know what to do, she also informed us that she had just purchased the car from N and M and that she didn't contact the GPS provider as yet.We knew that rawle was doing cars up at NM so we contacted him .His phone rang unanswered at first then he called back .We informed him of the situation and gave him the woman's # he began tell about some outstanding cheques he had for us and I told him to deal with situation and we would sort out the cheques next week and that was the end of the conversation. We then contacted the woman about 15 minutes later and she told us that Rawle had contacted her and he was assisting with the situation . This morning someone from the guardian newspaper contacted our office to find out if anyone was killed at GPS Rescue. at this point we tried calling rawle but got no answer .we then contacted the woman who had her car stolen and she didn't even know that rawle was shot but she thanked us as she had gotten back her car .She the also said that whilst at the station she heard the police talking about someone being shot in the vicinity of where the car was stolen but didn't link the two situations. We have all conversations recorded so when the newspapers are ready to print the correct story and no made up article they can contact me .I also would like to state that although we were competitors in business , we would often communicate and share ideas and suggestions to each on improving our service to our clients.

RIP Buddy

Cheers
