Around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, a man was working in his garden near the Valencia Bypass Road when he was approached by a masked gunman. The assailant brandished a firearm and pointed it at the victim before a single loud explosion was heard. The victim, realizing he had been shot after feeling a burning sensation in his right leg, managed to flee the scene and raise an alarm. He was subsequently transported to the Arima Hospital where he received medical treatment for the gunshot wound.
