In the first incident, a six-year-old boy was shot along with a male relative early on Tuesday morning in Morvant.
According to reports, the young boy was with the relative at the home of a friend on Second Caledonia, Morvant.
At about 1.45 am, the man heard a loud noise and when he checked on the commotion he came face to face with a gunman.
A scuffle broke out between the gunman and the other man, during which the gun went off. The man was shot in his right foot. The gunman escaped, but before he did he fired another shot at the other man.
But just at that time the boy came out to see what had happened and was shot in the left foot.
Both the male relative and the boy were taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex.
An Arima man was shot dead at his home on Monday night. He was identified a 22-year-old Joshua Augustus.

The gunmen shot Augustus several times, while the other two occupants of the house ran for cover. The gunmen then escaped.
