The man who was shot by police on Friday evening succumbed this morning at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Shane Hinds, 27, of Lot 193 Middle Road, La Penitence, Georgetown, had been in an unconscious state since the incident.
His relatives received the call from the hospital sometime between 1-1:30am.
According to the police, around 7 pm on Friday, ranks of a mobile police patrol observed two men on a motor cycle, CG 1755, trailing a motor car along Thomas Street. The police said that they “challenged” the two men, whereupon the rider opened fire with a small firearm on the police, who returned fire, hitting Hinds, the pillion rider. The rider escaped on the bike after Hinds was shot, the police reported.
