A post-mortem examination conducted on Andrew Kissoon revealed that he was shot four times. Relatives remain clueless as to the reason for his execution-style death.
Kissoon called ‘Lovie’ a 24-year-old baker of Riverview Ruimveldt was fatally shot around 7 pm on Thursday.
So far no suspects have been held and police are continuing their investigation into the shooting.
Reports are that Kissoon was riding along Middle Road, La Penitence when two men rode up on a bicycle and shot him at close range. The wounded man was able to walk a few steps before collapsing on the road. The men then made good their escape with the dead man’s bicycle.
Friends and family of the man were inconsolable as they saw Kissoon’s motionless body on the road. Police removed the body around 9.30 pm, more than two hours after the shooting occurred. Relatives had told this newspaper on the night of the shooting that Kissoon was a very quiet person and was never in any problems with anyone.
One of Kissoon’s eight siblings, Harry, told Stabroek News yesterday that he had been a baker on and off for about three years. He said his brother wasn’t working that night and he had no idea where he was headed. According to Harry, the area where Kissoon was killed was one he visited regularly. He said he was not aware of any problems his brother had with anyone. He said the post-mortem examination conducted yesterday showed that his brother took one bullet in the shoulder and three in the back.
His brother’s bicycle, he said, has not been recovered.
Two months ago two masked gunmen riddled 39-year-old Shawn Hescott with bullets as he sat talking with two women on Middle Road, La Penitence, a stone’s throw away from his home.
The motive for that shooting is also unknown and so far no one has been arrested in connection with Hescott’s killing.
