Nine days after journalist, Travis Chase, escaped what was described as an attempt on his life and six days after a ballistic test was done on his firearm after the Guyana Police Force stated that the shell case markings from the bullets supposedly intended for him had “significant similarities” with test bullets from his gun, the Force has been silent on the results of that test.
It was on Monday evening at 19.30 hours, that Chase narrowly evaded what was described as an attempt on his life at the intersection of D’Urban Street and Cemetery Road in Georgetown. It was reported that a lone gunman on a motorcycle opened fire on Chase as he was exiting his car, prompting Chase to seek cover. After firing several rounds, the gunman escaped on his motorcycle as an off-duty cop attempted pursuit.
An investigation was launched and Chase’s car was found to have three bullet holes in the left rear.
