Three months after six-year-old Jeremiah Gustave was shot in his head at Charles Street, Charlestown, Georgetown, his condition continues to worsen as he remains hospitalised.

Jeremiah Gustave was shot at around 19:45 hrs on July 9th.

Jeremiah’s mother, Keisha Gustave told Stabroek News yesterday that he began bleeding internally a few days ago. She said the doctors are conducting several tests to ascertain the cause of the new development. According to Keisha, prior to this development, there had been tentative talk about discharging her son from the hospital. She said that he requires a “machine” to survive, which costs $150,000 and this has to first be mobilised.
