Police are investigating an incident involving the alleged discharge of a firearm that occurred on Saturday evening at about 10:45h, involving two men both of Second Street, Agricola, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
Reports are that the suspect and the victims are familiar with each other and were on speaking terms prior to the incident.
According to reports, the incident began when one of the victims, who operates a wash bay on First Street, asked the suspect to move his vehicle to allow a truck to enter for washing. The suspect initially responded that the man would need to wait, prompting a verbal exchange in which the victim allegedly called the suspect an “Auntyman.”
Shortly after, the suspect mounted a motorcycle and left the area, only to return minutes later. This time, he parked his motorcycle, retrieved a firearm from his waistband, and discharged three rounds towards the wash bay operator. None of the shots hit the victim.
The other victim, who witnessed the incident, grabbed a cutlass and confronted the suspect. The brothers then drove to the Ruimveldt Police Station to report the matter.
Police have since processed the scene, but no spent shells were found. Statements were taken from individuals in the area, but efforts to locate the suspect, police said, have proven unsuccessful so far. Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
