THE shooting death of a 34-year-old "PH" taxi-driver on the Beetham Highway during rush-hour traffic on Tuesday has been labelled by police as a well-orchestrated hit.

Kevon Moses, a father of two girls and one boy, was shot once behind the head, around 4.15 p.m., by two men pretending to be passengers in his Nissan AD wagon.

Another passenger, a woman, escaped unhurt during the incident.

Moses, who lived at Gloster Lodge Road, Gonzales, and worked the San Juan/Port of Spain route, succumbed to his injuries around 10 p.m. on Tuesday.

Police said a surveillance camera in the area did not record the incident, as it was focused elsewhere.

Robbery has been ruled out since a quantity of money and the victim's BlackBerry cellphone was not taken from the car. Police said based on information they have received, the suspects are from the Leau Place, Laventille Road, Port of Spain.

The incident, Moses's mother Elsie Moses said, may have stemmed from a domestic dispute he had with a woman and a man while living in the Leau Place community last year.

Elsie spoke with the Express yesterday at Express House in Port of Spain. She said since Moses separated from his wife, her son had been under attack. "It had a little pulling and tugging and since that, it have no peace," Elsie said.

Asked what could have been a possible motive for the incident, Elsie said she remained uncertain whether if it was robbery or connected to a previous domestic dispute in which he was shot and attacked on two separate occasions in July last year.

She said, "Well it had some fellas from Leau Place did shoot him on he hand. They take all he things in his house. Well he had was to run from there. They meet him by the hospital and they take off piece of he ears and they real beat him.

"That situation is very, very bad and I don't like that at all because my son does work for an honest dollar and he don't give me no problem. He worked KFC, he worked Pizza Hut and several different places, and they real advantage my son," Elsie said.

Over the weekend, Moses was confronted again by one of the men, his stepfather, Stanford Thomas, said. "Something fishy about that, but we can't say if it's what happened on Saturday that come back to haunt him," he added.

Elsie said her son grew frustrated by the repeated attacks and inaction by the police in the matters. "I'm not picking up for my son. If he did bad, I would say he bad. He does only talk, but he not in nothing. I'd leave it in the hands of the Lord," Elsie said.
