East La Penitence man wanted for murder of ‘friend’
Wanted: Carlton Bourne, also known as Akeem Bourne
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Friday issued a wanted bulletin for 28-year-old Carlton Bourne, also known as Akeem Bourne, of Freeman Street, East La Penitence, Georgetown. He is wanted for questioning in connection with the murder of Chavis Akeeme Mark Wilson.
Wilson, of East Ruimveldt Squatting Area, Georgetown, was shot and killed last Saturday during a dispute with this suspect over money and an iPhone.
Police have reported that, at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, between 08:30h and 09:00h on the day in question, the suspect and Wilson, who was his ‘friend,’ had had a confrontation allegedly stemming from the suspect seeking repayment of a loan from Wilson.
Dead: Chavis Akeeme Mark Wilson
A resident recounted that the altercation quickly escalated, with the suspect dragging Wilson from one section of the East Ruimveldt Squatting Dam to another, and throwing him into a trench before discharging a round in his direction.
After the shooting, the suspect initially walked away, only to return when Wilson attempted to exit the trench with assistance from another resident. Despite onlookers dissuading further violence, the suspect callously uttered a final remark before fleeing the scene.
This suspect is reportedly no stranger to the law, having recently been released on bail after facing charges related to robbery-under-arms offences in the Albouystown area.
Anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of Carlton Bourne, also known as Akeem Bourne, is asked to contact the Police on telephone numbers 226-6978, 225-8196, 227-1611, 225-2317, 638-8440, or at the nearest Police station.
