–brother arrested after retaliatory shooting

POLICE are investigating the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Nicholas Narine, also known as “Biggs,” a recently released convict who was gunned down Monday morning while cleaning a drain on Titus Street, Agricola.
Narine, who served a 16-year sentence for a high-profile 2015 armed robbery at the home of a sitting High Court judge, was killed around 08:15 hrs.
The suspected shooter, identified as 27-year-old Raphael Bollers of Brutus Street, Agricola, remains on the run.

According to a police release, Narine and Bollers were known to each other. On the morning of the shooting, Narine was working with a group cleaning drains in the area when Bollers allegedly emerged near a concrete fence and opened fire. Narine was struck three times and collapsed at the scene.

He was rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, where he was pronounced dead. Police recovered one 9mm spent shell from the crime scene and have since taken multiple statements.
In a retaliatory act just minutes later, Nicholas Narine’s younger brother, 22-year-old electrician Keon Narine, allegedly discharged several rounds at the house of 60-year-old Gideon Bollers, Raphael Bollers’ father, located on Brutus Street.

According to police, Keon Narine rode up to the property on a motorcycle around 08:30 hrs and opened fire, striking the house in several places before fleeing north.
He was later arrested at his residence, where police discovered an AR-15 rifle and a magazine with five live 5.56 rounds in his bedroom.

During questioning at the Ruimveldt Police Station, Keon Narine admitted to shooting at the Bollers’ residence in retaliation, claiming the rifle belonged to his deceased brother Nicholas.
Detectives recovered 18 spent 5.56mm shells at the scene of the second shooting. Keon Narine has since been arrested and remains in custody as investigations continue.

Keon is no stranger to the police since he was last year charged with three counts of illegal firearm and ammunition possession. He is out on $350,000 bail.
Police are actively pursuing Raphael Bollers, who reportedly fled the scene of the shooting with the weapon in hand. The body of Nicholas Narine is currently at the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Narine had only recently completed a 16-year prison sentence stemming from a 2015-armed robbery at the home of a sitting High Court judge and her husband.

In that attack, Narine and two accomplices were convicted in 2016 and sentenced to 16 years in prison each.

The trio was convicted of stealing over $3.6 million in valuables during a violent home invasion that involved gunfire and left the couple severely injured.
