Interpol Red Notice Issued for Fourth Suspect in Officer's Murder and Firearms Heist

The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) is escalating its efforts in the investigation into the murder of Municipal Police Acting Corporal Anuska Eversley and the subsequent heist of firearms from the San Fernando Municipal Police Station. The issuance of an Interpol Red Notice for a fourth suspect signifies the seriousness and international scope of this ongoing case.

A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action. A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.

Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro detailed the progress, noting that while three individuals have already been arrested and charged, the search continues for the fourth suspect, who is believed to have left the country. This development highlights the challenges faced by local law enforcement when dealing with sophisticated criminal operations that may involve cross-border elements.

The recovery of a substantial cache of weapons and ammunition—including 38 pistols, four shotguns, a sub-machine gun, a revolver, and over 900 rounds—is a significant step. However, the fact that a considerable amount of firearms and ammunition remains unaccounted for remains a grave concern for public safety. The TTPS's commitment to diligently searching for the missing items on a daily basis underscores the urgency of the situation.

The firearms audit into the items stolen from the station on that date had yet to be completed.

This investigation, involving a coordinated multi-agency effort, also brings to light the issue of social media misinformation. Commissioner Guevarro addressed these concerns, emphasizing the importance of relying on official police statements. From a national perspective in Trinidad and Tobago, such incidents involving the murder of an officer and the theft of police weapons are deeply unsettling. They raise critical questions about internal security and the need for robust measures to prevent such breaches and ensure the swift apprehension of all involved parties, both domestically and internationally.

However, there is still a significant amount of firearms and ammunition unaccounted for, and we are continuing diligently to search for this on a daily basis.
