Tobago has reported its third murder of 2024. The deceased has been identified as Nigel ‘Tall Man’ Julien from Quarry Street at Port of Spain. According to the authorities, Julien was living at Signal Hill, and his body was found on Thursday night in the same location where he lived. 

If sources are to be believed, it is said that people across the region heard several loud explosions at Opal Drive at around 8:00 pm. Upon arrival at the site, they found the motionless body of Julien lying on the ground outside his home. 

Investigating officers discovered the body of Tall Man with multiple gunshot wounds on his body. While noticing the bore marks on his body, police believed that he might have been involved in violence before he died. 

The post-mortem report is pending, according to the police. This murder occurred a day after Tobago’s second murder victim was laid to rest.

This news has been shared on various social media pages, and many people took to their official Facebook handle to express their concerns regarding the rapid increase of crimes in the island nation. 

While reacting to the news, a person named Verneaa Campbell wrote, “Tobago…hmmm the peace we once had, disappearing. Sad.”

Another person by the name of Vermae Stealla commented, “Now conditions get worse. Every day we hear crime news in our country. No action taken. Where we go? We are living in big tensions and concern.”

Trinidad and Tobago is facing a continuous runaway crime problem that has increased personal and national insecurity. With over one homicide per day in 2024, including alarming incidents of public shootings and broad daylight attacks, the severity of the situation cannot be overstated.
