With gunshot wounds to the back, buttocks and shoulder, money-changer Wendell Liverpool remained in a critical condition
yesterday even as police seek to ascertain the identity of his attackers.
Kaieteur News understands that the 44-year-old West Ruimveldt resident has been transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit following surgery.
Liverpool was shot on Friday night by three gunmen on bicycles while drinking outside a popular night spot a short distance from his home.
According to reports, Liverpool was sitting with one of his brothers at around 22.00 hrs when three men rode up to the siblings and shot Liverpool. After he collapsed, the gunmen reportedly relieved the money-changer of a large gold chain, two gold rings encrusted with small diamonds and a gold band. Relatives believe that the bandits took cash from their victim.
The shot man’s mother, Bernice Liverpool, believes that her son resisted his attackers. “He always said that nobody ain’t taking his things,” she said. However, she said that the robbers left her son with two gold rings, a band and a small sum of cash.
Some police sources suggest that Liverpool knew his attackers, since they have received reports that the men had a brief exchange of words before the money-changer was shot. Up to late yesterday, investigators had no information about the identities of the suspects.
Kaieteur News understands that police arrived on the scene some 15 minutes later and took Liverpool to the GPHC where he underwent surgery.
Liverpool’s mother said that gunmen had made an unsuccessful attempt to invade her son’s house some years ago.
