2 US-based Guyanese among 3 wanted for Durban Street double murder

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Monday issued wanted bulletins for three men for questioning in connection with the murder of Lawrence Wayne called ‘‘Boy Boy’’ and Anthony Havescome who were riddled with bullets during a drive-by shooting on August 24, 2024, at Durban Street Lodge, Georgetown.
The wanted men are 30-year-old Dominique Darrel Osborne formerly of Princes Street, Georgetown and of Brooklyn New York; 31-year-old Keron Hinds of Smyth Street, Georgetown and also of Brooklyn New York and 18-year-old Omalie Vieira of Princes Street, Georgetown.
Wayne and Havescome were shot dead outside of Lot 23 D’Urban Street Lodge, Georgetown, while several victims were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC). Havescome died on the night of the shooting while Wayne died one day after while receiving medical attention.
Those injured were Travis Ceres who received a bullet graze to his right elbow and right abdomen; Destra Auther, who received a gunshot wound to her lower left leg; Teon Allen, called ‘Spoil Child’, who received a gunshot wound to his left shoulder; Stanley Matthews, who was shot to his left hand and left thigh; Lennox Wayne, called ‘Two colours,’ who received a gunshot wound to his right thigh and right palm; and Lloyd Roberts who received gunshot wounds to his right upper chest and left hip.
It was reported that the victims were in the vicinity of V’s Delight, located on the southern side of D’Urban Street when four suspects, all armed with handguns, pulled up in a black Toyota Premio motorcar and opened fire.
According to Keon Aaron, the 37-year-old business owner, he hosted an ‘All Black’ party for the second anniversary of his business at a wash bay opposite his business place. Shortly after 05:00h, a police patrol came and instructed him to stop the party, which he did.
Aaron related that while some people left the party, there were still a few others liming and drinking in front of his business. He was checking off his bar when he heard several loud explosions that sounded like gunshots, and upon checking, he saw a dark-coloured, heavily-tinted car speeding off in a western direction.
The businessman further told investigators that he then went over to his business place and observed several persons with what appeared to be blood on their bodies.
Some 29 9mm spent shells, one live round of 9mm ammunition, four pieces of metal fragments and six projectiles were discovered at the scene.
Following the shooting, detectives went to Manatee Place in South Ruimveldt where they observed a black Toyota Premio motor car (without number plate) with 11 9mm spent shells along with one .223 spent shell found in the front and back seats of the car.
The ranks traced the vehicle, which had registration number PAC 8364 engraved on the windscreen, the registered owner – Coleen Burrowe, a 33-year-old businesswoman. She told investigators that she along with three others were in her vehicle and had stopped at the corner of D’Urban and Victor streets at about 04:00h, when two men on a white XR motorcycle (registration number unknown) approached them.
The pillion rider dismounted the motorcycle, pointed a firearm at her, and demanded that she hand over the motorcar. Being fearful for their lives, Burrowe and the other occupants exited the vehicle, and the armed suspect entered the car and drove north on Victor Street, making good his escape while his accomplice on the motorcycle followed.
Meanwhile, anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Osborne, Hinds and Vieira is asked to contact the police at 227-1149, 225-8196, 227-1611, 911 or the nearest police station.
