A North East La Penitence, Georgetown man was shot dead by police following a drug bust at the Alpha Hotel at Ogle, East Coast Demerara.
Fifty-one-year-old Nigel Joseph was shot in the stomach and reportedly died while being transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Police reportedly detained four people, including a 16-year-old cleaner, and recovered some 524 grammes of cocaine and an unlicenced 9mm handgun.
The drama reportedly began when police received information that a big drug deal was “going down” between numerous individuals in the hotel.
Police reportedly kicked open a hotel door, as the ‘deal’ was being transacted. It is alleged that one of the individuals in the room opened fire and the ranks returned fire, hitting Joseph, in the stomach.
Kaieteur News understands that four people were subsequently detained and a number of vehicles were impounded.
Staffers at the hotel declined to comment on the incident.
