A 23-year-old man was gunned down and his 22-year-old female friend wounded during a confrontation with another man in Perry Street Tucville at around 21.20 hrs last night.
Relatives said that the victims, Colin Perreira, of Barr Street, Kitty, and Gail Ann Chacoh, 22, were shot while sitting in a car that Perreira was driving.
Perreira, an excavator operator, was shot in the chest and stomach and died shortly after. Chacon was reportedly shot in the back and hands and was undergoing surgery last night at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Reports indicated that the two friends were shot by a resident of Perry Street, Tucville, shortly after they had reversed onto the resident’s bridge. The shooter has reportedly been detained.
Kaieteur News understands that Perreira had just left a popular Kitty bar, where he was hanging out with friends.
He then dropped off some people and then headed to Perry Street, where the shooting occurred.
His mother, Cerene Roberts, said that she received a call at around 21.20 hrs that her son, also known as ‘Malcolm’, had been shot. She said that she went to Perry Street, where she was shown the area where the shooting had occurred. She also saw a police rank driving the car that her son had used. The vehicle had a number of bullet-holes in the windscreen.
According to Mrs. Roberts, the rank indicated that he was taking the vehicle to the East La Penitence Police Station.
She said that her son succumbed after being taken by friends to the GPHC.
According to the woman, her son had no enemies that she is aware of.
