Keon David, the ex-Policeman who is wanted by the Police in connection with the fatal shooting of Sophia resident Kurt Duncan at Seeta’s Bar on Monday morning, was not a licenced firearm holder.
This was revealed by a source close to investigations. The suspect, however, remains on the run, but the Police are making effort to apprehend their former colleague.
It was reported that the 32-year-old father of six, of Pike Street, Sophia, Greater Georgetown, was shot once to his chest by David who was at the establishment at the time.
Initial reports revealed that at about 2:00h on the day in question, a woman — who was imbibing at Seeta’s Bar— got into a heated argument with a handyman who was at the time wiping the ground.
That argument escalated into a scuffle, and Duncan, who was also at the drinking spot, intervened.
The suspect then whipped out a gun and discharged a round hitting Duncan to the chest. The injured man was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
David, on the other hand, left the scene, but the Guyana Police Force (GPF) has since issued a wanted bulletin for his arrest. His last known address has been given as Sophia, Greater Georgetown. He is said to be 32 years old and a former member of the Police Force.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect is asked to contact the Police on telephone numbers 226-1389, 226-7476, 911, or at the nearest Police Station.
