A San Fernando businessman was shot and killed at his residence on Wednesday morning, in what police say was a fatal confrontation involving a woman.
Five gunshots were heard.
The victim, Steve Ghany Jr, was actively involved in his family’s business in multiple construction projects.
Ghany Jr was also a prominent figure within the jet ski fraternity and among enthusiasts.
According to initial police reports, there was a domestic dispute between Ghany Jr and the woman at his residence around 10 a.m. when he was shot and later succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Police said that a woman believed to be connected to the incident has since been detained and is assisting investigators.
Investigators are working to determine the circumstances that led to the shooting.
In December 2024, the victim’s stepmother and brother were the target of gunmen.
Monica Ghany was struck multiple times while driving a Nissan Tiida. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Matthew, 20, was shot in his right hand and survived.
The killing occurred around 2 p.m. along a road that is one of the main entry points into the city, and an area where commuters on the water taxi use to exit the Ferry Terminal.
Police said that the mother and son had left the SFGH minutes earlier.
It is suspected that they were headed back to their home on Alexander Road in San Fernando when they were confronted by the gunmen in a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction along the wharf.
The occupants of the vehicle fired multiple rounds of gunfire at the driver’s side of the windshield, several of which struck the woman in her upper body.
The shooters sped off and escaped.
Her killing remains unsolved.
Detectives of the Homicide Bureau of Investigations of Region Three, Southern Division Task Force and San Fernando CID have responded.
A woman, the mother of one, has been taken into custody.
