Dead teen bandit He “used to deh pun stupidness” – father on son’s behaviour

The father of 15-year-old Tyrese Adams, who was shot and killed during an attempted robbery at Jia Jia Supermarket on Hadfield Street, Georgetown, on Tuesday evening, has broken his silence in an emotional video circulating on social media.

In the video, the father is seen visibly distressed, confirming the teen’s death while saying that that Tyrese had indeed been involved in troubling behaviour.
“They just kill meh big son. They just kill he bai,” he said. “Even though he does deh pun stupidness, they kill he. He and he friend go fah rob the Chiney just now. Well, duhs how life does go.”
The remarks, shared just hours after the incident, have sparked public reaction, some expressing sympathy for the father’s grief, while others pointed to the wider issue of youth being drawn into crime.
His father acknowledged his son’s missteps, yet struggling with the violent end he met. Tyrese was among four armed, masked bandits who tried to rob the supermarket.

His accomplice, 22-year-old Orwin Garraway of Lot 595 East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, was also killed during the armed confrontation. Both young men were residents of the East Ruimveldt community, and both reportedly entered the supermarket masked and armed with handguns.
The deadly encounter unfolded around 19:30h on Tuesday, when Tyrese, Garraway, and two other men descended on the Chinese-owned Supermarket with apparent plans to rob the cashiers.
Two of the suspects entered the building and immediately split up, one going to the eastern cashier booth and the other to the western side, while the remaining two lingered outside, seemingly as lookouts.
CCTV footage reviewed by investigators shows the masked bandits demanding money and ransacking the premises before being challenged by a 35-year-old armed security guard, who discharged multiple rounds from his 9mm pistol, striking both Tyrese and Garraway.
One of the suspects collapsed inside the supermarket, while the other was found lying in the street about 15 feet away. The two remaining suspects fled westward along Hadfield Street and remain on the run.
Emergency Medical Technicians responded to the scene and confirmed both men were dead. A Glock 17 pistol with eight rounds of live ammunition was recovered next to one of the suspects. Multiple spent shells and bullet fragments were retrieved from both the supermarket and the street outside.
Police said two Haojue motorcycles, one with registration CP 623 and another without a plate, were found parked outside the supermarket with the keys still in their ignitions, believed to have been the getaway vehicles for the suspects.
The deceased were taken to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where they await post-mortem examinations. Police said that the investigation is ongoing, with efforts being made to track down the remaining two suspects.
