Police said that Greene was standing in front of the hotel with others when person(s) unknown approached and discharged several rounds at him and fled the scene.
The victim was then rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
In the CCTV footage seen by Kaieteur News, a number of persons could be seen under a tent in front of the Foreshaw Street hotel that is just a few doors away from the “Rio night club.
