The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service has confirmed that Kaia Sealy, the girlfriend of Joshua Samaroo, is to be charged in connection with his fatal shooting.

In a statement, the TTPS said a comprehensive investigation was conducted into the incident of January 20th, 2026, after which a detailed case file was submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Following review and consultation, the DPP advised that criminal charges be laid.

“Acting on the advice of the DPP, investigators conducted further enquiries and obtained warrants for the arrest of Kaia Sealy of Bamboo Settlement No. 1, Valsayn for the following offences: Three counts of Shooting with Intent to Cause Grievous Bodily Harm at the police, contrary to Section 12 of the Offences Against the Person Act, Chapter 11:08, in relation to the incident which occurred on January 20th, 2026, at the corner of College Road and Bassie Street Extension, St. Augustine.

At this time, the warrants have not yet been executed.

The TTPS also sought to clarify remarks made during Thursday’s media briefing, stating that Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro did not indicate that police officers are to be charged in connection with the matter. Instead, the Commissioner confirmed that investigators were acting on advice from the DPP to proceed with charges arising from the January 20th incident.
