The owner of Street Styles Boutique, Carl Innis who was shot on Saturday night in front of his business and robbed is in stable condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Inniss, of Seaforth Street, Campbellville, told Stabroek News yesterday that after he had closed his store around 7PM Saturday and was sitting in his car about a building away from the store he was approached by 3-4 men.
“I was just sitting in the car and they rush up and pulled me out and started beating me,” he said, stating that while the entire thing happened in a “blur” he remembered one of them being armed with a bottle and another with a shotgun.
“They tek away my cellphone and other things from the car and all I remember is hearing one of them saying ‘shoot he, shoot he’,” Inniss added, stating that he subsequently felt a gunshot to his knee and he fell to the ground. He said that after he was shot the men rushed to a parked grey-coloured vehicle and subsequently escaped with his phone, wallet, and an undisclosed amount of cash.
Inniss was then rushed to the GPHC by a neighbour who hurried out after the gunshot. Inniss has since had knee surgery. He is currently still admitted at GPHC and is expected to be discharged today.
