NICOLE MOSES, who was very passionate about helping people, died after bandits invaded her Westmoorings property on Thursday morning.
The owner of Classy Fabrics located at Frederick Street in Port-of-Spain died at the St James Infirmary after suffering gunshot wounds to her neck and chest, police said.
Reports indicated that two bandits were also killed at Moses’s house at Cherry Crescent just after 8 am.
Police said Moses was taking her nephews to school when they saw unknown men in the yard. The bandits opened fire and Moses is said to have pushed her nephews to safety.
Her brother, who was in the house, heard the commotion and got his licenced firearm and returned fire fatally shooting the two bandits. They both died on the premises.
Moses was described as “passionate about helping people” by her schoolmate at Providence Girls’ Avonelle Hector Joseph of the non-governmental organisation Is There Not A Cause (ITNAC).
Hector Joseph said Moses gave of her time and was always lending support to ITNAC.
Moses was also willing to assist her workers and provided them with hampers to help with loss of income during the Covid-19 pandemic, Joseph said.
She said Moses had recently given ITNAC a phone and had made a contact to get some more refurbished ones so that they could get more hotline numbers to assist people in need.
Hector Joseph said Moses had no kids but considered her nephews her children.
Last year in a tribute to Hector Joseph on her 50th birthday, Moses made the video below:
