Former Trinidad and Tobago youth footballer Tekay Hoyce was shot dead in the capital, Port of Spain, on December 27.

According to reports, Hoyce, who represented the national Under-17 men’s team during the 2015 CONCACAF Under-17 World Cup qualifying campaign, was standing at the corner of Charlotte Street and Independence Square around 7 pm when gunmen opened fire on him and two other men.

CCTV footage from the scene showed pedestrians and street vendors running for cover as gunshots rang out.

Hoyce, also known as “TK,” died at the scene, while the two other men were taken to hospital for treatment.

Following news of Hoyce’s death, the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) expressed condolences to his loved ones and remembered him as a talented sportsman.

“The football community acknowledges Hoyce’s contribution at the youth international level and extends condolences to his family, friends, and former teammates during this time,” the TTFA said in a Facebook post.
