A Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) engineer was gunned down around 11 am today on the Little Diamond Public Road, East Bank Demerara in a drive-by shooting.
Dead is Trevor Abrams, 32, of Lot 131 Samatta Point, Grove Housing Scheme, EBD.
His relatives told Stabroek News that he was not headed to work but had some other business to transact. As he was on his way to the destination, a car drove by and shots were fired.
Abrams was shot five times, two of which hit him to his back. He was pronounced dead at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre.
