The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Monday issued wanted bulletins for Jamie Ghanie, 25, and Harold, also known as “Stewie” for questioning in relation to the murder of Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Lieutenant Coast Guard Rondel Douglas.
Ghanie’s last known address is Lot 59 Patterson, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, while Harold’s is listed as Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara.
Anyone with information leading to the apprehension of either or both persons is asked to call 911, 225-8196, 226-6978.
On the evening of June 7, Douglas, 33, was shot and killed during the course of a robbery at Cul-de-Sac Street, North Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
Dead: GDF Lieutenant Coast Guard Rondel Douglas
Based on reports received, Douglas – a licensed firearm holder – usually used his motor car, Toyota Fielder wagon PZZ 703, to work as a part-time taxi driver with Alladin Taxi Service, located at La Grange, West Bank Demerara. Preliminary investigations revealed that on the night in question, an identifiable male went to the taxi base and requested that the victim transport him to Georgetown. As Douglas reached the destination at Cul-de-Sac Street, the passenger exited the car and was joined by an accomplice.
These two men walked towards the driver’s side window, and it is unclear whether there had been an argument, but, soon after, residents in the area recalled hearing a loud explosion, suspected to be a gunshot. As they looked through their windows, they observed a white Fielder wagon driving off the scene at a fast rate of speed. As they looked closer, they saw the injured victim lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

Police have since confirmed that two gunshot wounds were seen on the man’s chest and head. Meanwhile, the motor car has since been recovered at Stone Avenue, Georgetown; reports are that the vehicle’s number plate, PZZ 703, had been removed and there was external damage.
Douglas, of Bagotville, West Bank Demerara (WBD), was a first-year student at the University of Guyana, pursuing a Degree in Computer Science. He was described as a committed and dedicated officer, who last served as Aide-de-Camp to the former Chief of Staff Brigadier Godfrey Bess.
Douglas was enlisted in February, 2012 following the completion of the Standard Officers Course 44. (G11)
