A West Ruimveldt, Georgetown mother is now dead after she was accidentally shot by a neighbourhood resident, who was firing wildly at a man he had a row with over a stolen bike early yesterday morning.
Florence Forte, 59, of Lot 24 Front Road, succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) yesterday morning around 6 am, hours after the shooting.
Clinton Forte, her widower, told Stabroek News that the woman was sitting on her verandah just after 12.30 am when two other residents had a confrontation. During the argument, one of the men whipped out a gun and opened fire indiscriminately.
