6-year-old boy shot in head: ‘Miceman’ wanted for attempted murder

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has issued a wanted bulletin for Marlon Marcus, also known as ‘Miceman,’ in connection with the attempted murder of six-year-old Jeremiah Gustave.
Marcus’ last known addresses are East Ruimveldt and Albouystown, Georgetown.
The shooting occurred on July 9 at around 19:45h outside Jeremiah’s home on Charles Street, Charlestown. Jeremiah, a pupil at Smith Memorial Primary School, sustained a gunshot wound to the head while standing next to his 39-year-old mother, a food vendor.

Reports are that the suspect approached on a black motorcycle and fired four shots aimed at a man known as ‘Crab’, who was nearby the child and his mother. ‘Crab’ managed to escape unharmed, but Jeremiah was struck by a bullet and collapsed.
Jeremiah’s mother, Keisha Gustave, transported him to a city hospital, where he has undergone two emergency surgeries and remains on life support. Police recovered two 9mm spent shells at the scene.
In an interview with Guyana Times, Keisha recounted the harrowing incident, explaining that she initially mistook the gunfire for fireworks. It was only when Jeremiah called out to her that she found him in a pool of blood, shot through the temple with the bullet lodged at the back of his head.
She expressed her devastation and is calling for justice for her innocent son, hoping for the swift arrest of the suspect.
Anyone with information on Marlon Marcus’ whereabouts is urged to contact the police at 232-0313, 225-8196, 225-6976, or the nearest police station. (G9)
