A Guyanese man was fatally shot during a fishing trip in the Florida Everglades on Wednesday, when he was the suspected victim of an accidental shooting.
A report in the Sun-Sentinel newspaper said Lawrence Ramdass, 46, was on a boat with his uncle and a family friend in the Holey Land Wildlife Management Area, about two miles west of US 27, near the Palm Beach Broward County Line, when there was a volley of gunfire.
Ramdass’ cousin, Sunita Moses, told the Sun-Sentinel in a telephone interview on Thursday that after the shooting began, Ramdass’ uncle and the family friend dove out of the boat. Shortly after, they found him shot in the boat.
