Upon enquiring where they were coming from, the businessman said he saw a black motorcar speed off west along D’Urban Street. The businessman said he then saw a few persons with what appeared to be blood on them and he assisted in putting them into separate vehicles to go to the hospital.
Checks were made at the GPHC and Travis Ceres, a 25-year-old vendor from East La Penitence suffered one gunshot wound to the lower abdomen; Teon Allen, a 38-year-old unemployed man from Sophia suffered a gunshot wound to his left shoulder; Stanley Matthews, a 31-year-old labourer from Sophia sustained a gunshot wound to his left hand and one on the left thigh; Destra Auther, a 33-year-old vendor from East La Penitence suffered a gunshot wound on the left leg; Lenox Wayne, a 39-year-old security guard from Turkeyen sustained wounds to his right thigh and hand; while Haver-come, a 40-year-old vendor from South Ruimveldt, who was shot multiple times, succumbed to his wounds.
Friends of Havercome remembered him as a joyful and warm-hearted individual. Havercome, who was well-known at the Stabroek Market where he worked for years, was described by those close to him as someone who had been part of the market community since he was just 12 years old.
Speaking to the Sunday Stabroek at the market, a group of his friends expressed their grief and shared memories of Havercome, noting that he didn’t have much family support.
“He’s been here since he was 12 years old. He didn’t really have family; the people at the market were his family,” one friend said. “The man was always jolly.”
