Alfred Crandon

Passenger killed after gunman opens fire on bus

Attacker fled into Buxton

A man was shot dead on Wednesday night while sitting in a minibus in Buxton after two passengers jumped out and one of them opened fire.

The dead man is Alfred Crandon and not Aubrey Rogers, as misidentified on the front page of yesterday’s Kaieteur News, causing one of his daughters to become hysterical. Rogers is very much alive and residing abroad, the man’s father, William Rogers said yesterday.

The Police, in a release said Crandon, 49, was fatally shot at around 8:30 pm by one of two gunmen after the bus they were all in, was ordered to stop at Church of God Road, Buxton.
