On the evening of June 22, 2026, a police-involved shooting incident took place in the San Juan district, Trinidad and Tobago. The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) responded to a report of an armed male being pursued by a group. Upon arrival, the suspect allegedly injured an officer and fled the scene.
