“Gangster Buck” charged, remanded for murder of construction worker 

Travis Jacobis, also called “Gangster Buck”, 33, of Lust-En-Rust, La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD), was on Thursday arraigned and remanded to prison for the murder of 28-year-old Joel Anthony Tamesar, who was stabbed to death.

He appeared before Magistrate Rhondell Weever at the Wales Magistrate’s Court, where the charge was read to him. He was not required to plead to the indictment, which stated that on March 1, 2026, he murdered Joel Anthony Tamesar, a construction worker at Lust-En-Rust, La Parfaite Harmonie, WBD.
It was reported that the now-deceased man was at a shop in the area when the suspect entered the establishment.
However, an altercation reportedly erupted between them, during which the suspect allegedly armed himself with a knife and stabbed Tamesar to the left side of his chest before fleeing the scene in a southern direction.

The injured man was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH), where he succumbed while receiving medical treatment. The suspect was later apprehended at Lust-En-Rust after he was found hiding in a trench and handed over to the Police. He was subsequently charged with the capital offence of murder.
Jacobis will make his next court appearance on April 10, 2026.
