A carload of persons opened fire on two men last night killing one of them and injuring the other.
According to reports reaching Stabroek News, Kevin Inniss, 23, of ‘B’ Field Sophia, who works in the interior, was in one of his friends’ yard when a vehicle drove up and opened fire on him and a friend who was identified as Shane.
“I was in my house which was a few yards away from where he [Inniss] went and all of a sudden I just hear this car turn back and pull up with a loud screech and then after I just hear poi, poi, poi all the time,” Inniss’ brother related to Stabroek News yesterday. He explained that he heard about 15 gunshots and after the sounds subsided he ran outside of his house to see what was going off.
“After I reach out I see the car pull off and speed away and I hear somebody shout and seh boy watch yuh brother get shoot and so I run to he and we get a taxi and rush him here [GPHC],” the man added.
The two men were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where the doctors were preparing to take Inniss into emergency surgery for gunshot wounds to his back, neck and shoulder. The man died about an hour after being rushed to the hospital while his friend remains in a stable condition at the hospital.
Scores of relatives and friends gathered yesterday and broke down in tears after they were told that Inniss had passed away.
Inniss’ death is the latest in a series of targeted killings.
