BEETHAM residents may target this morning’s back-to-school rush hour traffic as the perfect time to stage fiery protests over the shooting death of a young man from the area at the hands of police officers.
The residents last night faced off against police over the shooting of Christopher Greaves, who they say was left to bleed to death while they looked on helplessly.
The residents staged fiery protests simultaneously on two of country’s major roadways last night to express their anger. That action led to traffic gridlock.
The situation all began with the shooting of 23-year-old Greaves around 6.30 p.m.
Greaves was a father of two from Fifth Street, Beetham Gardens who worked at National Fisheries, Sea Lots.
He was spending time with his baby son Isaac when he decided to go to the shop at the corner of Third Street, Beetham Gardens.
Greaves exited the shop with a soft drink. At the same time police officers were conducting a mobile patrol in the area.
Residents claim the officers opened fire on Greaves without reason. They showed bullet holes on the wall of the shop to bolster their point.
Greaves was hit and ran.
The officers followed him still shooting.
The residents showed the Express scattered bullet holes all along the street.
Greaves tried to run through an alley along Third Street but was eventually shot down by the officers. He lay there bleeding for at least 30 minutes, residents said.
“He was laying down there, bleeding, fighting for breath and the police keep pushing us back. We had a car ready to take him to the hospital but they kept pushing us back,” Greaves’s elder brother who requested anonymity said yesterday.
Eventually Greaves was dragged out of the alley and placed in the tray of a police van.
Reports said he died on the way to the Port of Spain General Hospital.
Residents showed their frustration over the situation by throwing debris and lighting it ablaze along Eastbound lanes of the Beetham Highway. They did the same thing along the Priority Bus Route also.
Police officers had to divert traffic, including maxi taxis exiting Port of Spain to the Eastern Main Road.
Residents said they will continue their protests.![]()

They should relocate all those people from there anyhow. The entry into the capital could do without that eyesore.
At the same time, i hope they investigate the shooting though. If the guy wasn't a trouble maker and was shot without reason, then someone should be held accountable.
I know tuners who suffer from Beethamitis might not agree.... but they just can't go around murdering people without a cause.
