Police Probing Alleged Shooting Incident on Charlotte Street

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is currently investigating an alleged shooting incident that occurred today, April 7th, 2024, at 09:40 hrs on Charlotte Street, Bourda, Georgetown.

The victim, identified as Wesson Hinds, a 35-year-old labourer, was reportedly targeted by two unidentified men wearing face masks. According to initial reports, one of the assailants, armed with a handgun, was the pillion rider on a motorcycle. However, details regarding the motorcycle’s registration number, type, and colour remain unknown.

Investigations have revealed that the victim was standing on Charlotte Street, opposite the Truth Power, Glory, and Sanctuary church, facing north when the suspects approached from the south on the motorcycle. The pillion rider then disembarked, demanding belongings from the victim and asking if he possessed anything. Without delay, the assailant discharged a round from a handgun, striking the victim in his left upper thigh.

Following the shooting, the suspects swiftly fled the scene on the motorcycle. Meanwhile, the victim, Wesson Hinds, is currently receiving medical treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, with his condition reported as stable.

The GPF reassures the public that investigations into this incident are ongoing, and anyone with information regarding the perpetrators or the circumstances surrounding the shooting is urged to come forward and assist the authorities.
