Late into the night, police officers from the Port of Spain Gang and Intelligence Unit responded to a report of a motionless body near Desperadoes Pan Yard on Laventille Road. Arriving at the scene, they were directed by an 18-year-old witness to the lifeless body of Simmons, found at a local residence. He had sustained visible gunshot wounds and was declared dead on site by a District Medical Officer.
