– killers flee with victim’s car
Bandits shot a second-year University of Guyana student shortly after midnight yesterday near the Bel Air seawall, before relieving the dying youth of his jewellery and car.
Uyiu Anthony Ting-A-Kee, 21, of 75 Robb Street, Lacytown, was shot in the chest and leg and died at the Georgetown Public Hospital while receiving treatment for the two wounds.
According to reports, Ting-A-Kee and a female acquaintance were sitting on the seawall in the vicinity of the Texaco Bel Air gas station when two gunmen attacked them.
This publication was told that the men relieved Ting-A-Kee of gold jewellery and an undisclosed sum of cash. One of the men then shot Anthony twice before fleeing with his accomplice in the student’s car, PNN 49.
Ting-A-Kee was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital by a public-spirited citizen after his female companion raised an alarm..
Police said that the car was recovered in Lamaha Park yesterday afternoon. Six .38 rounds were found at the scene of the shooting.
The dead man’s father, George Ting-A-Kee, told Kaieteur News that he last saw his son alive at around 20:30 hours on Thursday, before he left their home. According to a very emotional elder Ting-A-Kee, his son came home at around 20:00 hours and was looking for his cellular phone.
“He just said he wasn’t finding his phone so I asked him if he was sure he didn’t leave it by his girlfriend…when I suggested that to him he went downstairs into his car to look for the phone,”.
The man said his son then indicated to him that he was going out and would return soon. According to Mr. Ting-A-Kee, he was watching television when his son left, but eventually fell asleep.
“When I woke up it was 23:13 hours to be exact because I placed a call to his cellular phone and I said ‘I think it’s time you come home it’s getting late,’ and all he said to me was he was coming shortly.”
Mr. Ting-A-Kee said that he then retired to bed.
“I was awakened by my nephew, who lives downstairs, so I went to answer him and he told me that my sister was outside calling.”
The grieving father recalled that he was not fully clothed, and his sister merely told him that he needed to put on clothes to accompany her to the hospital.
It was during the journey that his sister eventually gave him the grim news.
“While going to the hospital she said I need to tell you that your son was shot and killed…I couldn’t believe,” a sobbing Ting-A-Kee related.
Meanwhile, after viewing his son’s body at the hospital the man said he returned home, but he wanted answers.
“I went back home, but couldn’t sleep, so I drove to the Sparendaam Police Station where I asked a police to assist me with whatever information they have…he took me back to the place where he said the incident occurred.”
The man said all he saw was a small spot of blood on the roadway. Mr. Ting-A-Kee said he is wondering whether robbery was really the motive behind his son’s death.
“He and the girl he was with were on and off in their relationship, and at one time he even told me that she was getting married to another guy sometime in November, but she would call him from time to time when she wanted a drop somewhere.”
