A 25-year-old Municipal Police Officer is expected to appear before a High Court Master today charged with murder.

The accused, of Mt Pleasant Road in Arima, was arrested after extensive investigations into the death of 32-year-old Ronaldo Cedeno of Acono Road, Maracas, St Joseph.

The TTPS says on the evening of March 22nd, a Municipal Officer was driving a marked vehicle in the vicinity of the Old Agostini Building in Port of Spain, when a man allegedly threw a stone, breaking the window of the front right door.

The officer allegedly pulled out his service firearm and shot in the direction of the assailant, hitting him in the upper body.

The man was pronounced dead a short while later at hospital.
