Two young men were up to late Sunday evening in a critical state at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after they were shot during a drive-by shooting at Prince William Street, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara (ECD), on Saturday evening.
Critical: Kevin Bernard Jr
Injured are Kevin Bernard Jr of the abovementioned address and one of his friends, who is yet to be identified.
Guyana Times understands that the men were at Bernard’s residence hanging out but as they exited the yard, two men stopped on a motorcycle and opened fire, hitting both of them.
Guyana Times understands that Bernard was shot in the face while his friend might have been shot to his body.
At the time of the shooting incident, no one was able to identify the suspects as they made good their escape on a motorcycle. Following the shooting, the victims were rushed to the hospital where they were admitted.
It is still unclear what led to the shooting since residents at Prince William Street were tight-lipped when Guyana Times visited the area on Sunday.
Attempts were made to contact the relatives of the men for a comment, but it proved futile. The police, up to press time on Sunday, had not released information with respect to the shooting.
