The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is on the hunt for 34-year-old Brian Semple, also known as ‘Big Face’, who is wanted as the prime suspect in the brutal murder of 18-year-old Jerroy Gordon. The deadly attack occurred on the night of July 3, at #40 Village, West Coast Berbice (WCB).
Dead: Jerroy Gordon
It was reported that Jerroy and his 16-year-old brother Jerry were returning home on a motorcycle after purchasing food when they were ambushed just a short distance away from their house.
Jerry recalled that a man suddenly dashed across the road and used a rope to bring down the motorcycle, causing both of them to fall.
As they hit the ground, a group of men reportedly armed with cutlasses began charging toward them. Terrified, Jerry fled to Litchfield to raise an alarm. When he returned with relatives, he found his brother seriously wounded.
Jerroy was rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital, but he was pronounced dead on arrival. Medical personnel said he had suffered a deep wound to his neck and other injuries.
Wanted: Brian Semple
Police said Jerroy had previous conflicts with some of the suspects earlier this year. That matter had gone before the court but has since been resolved.
While several persons have already been taken into custody for questioning, Semple, whose last known address is Lot 26, #40 Village, WCB, remains on the run.
Region Five Commander Lonsdale Withrite confirmed the ongoing investigation and is urging anyone with information on Semple’s whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or call 225-6940, 225-8196, 226-7476, 225-2317, or 227-1149.
