– suspects captured
Two boys, aged 15 and 16, are in police custody for allegedly shooting 43-year-old barber Troy
Hercules after robbing him of cash and jewellery at his Henrietta, Essequibo home at around 03:00 hrs yesterday.
Hercules was shot in the stomach and groin just as he was about to close his gate after parking his car.
The robbers reportedly fled the scene in a vehicle, while their victim was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Suddie Public Hospital. His condition is reportedly listed as critical but stable.
Kaieteur News understands that the bullets that penetrated Hercules’ stomach exited through his back, while a bullet is still lodged in his groin.
Police arrested one of the teens just as he was about to board a speedboat which was destined for Parika. The other alleged accomplice was nabbed at Parika.
Police recovered a gun and some matching rounds.
Troy Hercules’ sister, Rhonda Hercules, told Kaieteur News that her brother, a father of two, went to a function at Queenstown and returned to his Henrietta home minutes after 03:00 hrs yesterday.
The sister said she then heard two explosions, and at first thought that someone had lit squibs, but it was in fact gunshots.
Hercules said that she peeped through a window and saw her wounded brother lying on the road. The woman ran to her sibling’s aid and recalled that he asked her to take him to hospital.
