The son of prominent trade unionist Michael Annisette was shot and killed on Friday afternoon when he and two other men were ambushed in Sangre Chiquito, Sangre Grande.

Police said the incident occurred around 2.55 p.m. Micah Annisette, 31, was a back-seat passenger in a Toyota Axio being driven along a roadway in the area. One man was seated in the front passenger seat at the time of the attack.
