A 31-year-old Mexican man, had his Guyanese vacation spoiled when robbers shot him at around 23:45 hrs on Saturday at a hotel in Campbellville.
The attackers escaped with US$3,000, GY$40,000 and two cell phones.
The victim, Rondell Orlando is being treated at a private hospital, nursing a gunshot wound to his left side. He is expected to undergo surgery soon.
Police in a release said that two men entered the hotel and pretended to be customers during which they pulled out a firearm and held up Orlando and two others at the hotel’s bar.
The 31-year-old man was shot in the process and the perpetrators escaped in a waiting car.
At the hospital yesterday, a friend of the wounded man who was also a victim of the robbery said that they were hanging out when the robbery occurred.
He explained that the robbers entered the hotel while a third accomplice stayed outside. He added that about two minutes later, the two men demanded that everyone lie on the floor.
Orlando, this newspaper was told, took a while before he got down on the floor, since he only speaks Spanish. “That’s when they shoot him,” the friend said.
Investigators are reviewing surveillance camera at the hotel.
It is Orlando’s first time in Guyana.
