The post-mortem examination on the body of 22-year-old Travis Parks, who was fatally shot on Sunday, has revealed that he died as a result of a gunshot injury to his abdomen.
Parks, a mini-bus conductor was shot in his back on Sunday allegedly by a MMC Security Force guard after being asked about a gold chain, which he reportedly denied knowing anything about. According to residents after being pulled out of a bushy lot where he had gone to relieve himself and accused of stealing the gold chain, Parks was shot in the back as he was being led to the security firm’s vehicle. He was reportedly kicked and hit by the four guards, who were in brown and green uniforms before being shot.
The post-mortem examination yesterday revealed that he had died as a result of a single gunshot wound to his abdomen.
Residents said that after Parks was shot, the men then picked up the bullet casing and got in their vehicle and drove away despite pleas for them to assist. Parks was eventually transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital by another vehicle, where he succumbed while receiving treatment.
MMC has declined comment until the completion of the police investigation of the matter.
