00:00This has come as the second man, who was shot dead by police last Thursday, has been identified to be
00:08from Beggs Trace, Togo, Trinidad.
00:10David West said the PCA is investigating the matter based on information already carried by the media,
00:17and it is hoped the police were wearing body cameras when the shooting incident took place.
00:23West said an investigator would be assigned to the case and would travel to Tobago.
00:28He is also calling on any eyewitnesses to also come forward to the PCA located at Bacolet, Tobago.
00:37Senior Superintendent of Police, Ruddell Kirk, when asked to comment, said as far as he is aware,
00:44the officers involved in the fatal shooting incident were not wearing body cameras.
00:49Officer Kirk said the PCA has their job to do, as is usual, with every fatal police involved in shooting.
00:56They are an independent body that have their oversight, so they would do their investigation, and the police would do
01:04what they have to do.
01:06Kirk said task force officers, who are frontline officers, wear body cameras, but not all officers have.
01:13He said, quote,
01:13We do not have body cameras so that everybody would have.
01:18Some of our operational units do wear body cams.
01:22Maybe at some other stage, the police commissioner and the deputy commissioner would speak about the functionalities of some of
01:29those body cams.
