A 20-year-old orthopedic technician at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) and a resident of West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was charged on Monday for the offence of ‘Transmitting of a private area of a person’, contrary to Section 16(2)(a) of the Cyber Crime Act 16 of 2018, committed on Lolita Callender, also known as Lola Doll.

Treveir Sinclair, called “Tratts” appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Fabayo Azore, where the charge was read to him. He pleaded not guilty and he was remanded to prison. The case was adjourned to October 6.
On September 11 Police reported that they had detained the 20-year-old in connection with the recording of Callender while she was being treated for gunshot wounds at the GPHC. According to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the recording was made on September 6, 2025, while Callender was in the hospital’s Emergency Department. The suspect allegedly admitted to using his cell phone to film the victim but claimed that he did not post the video on Facebook.

According to Police, a lone gunman walked up to her parked vehicle and opened fire before fleeing on a waiting motorcycle. Neighbours recalled hearing a rapid burst of gunshots before finding the entertainer bleeding in the driver’s seat. She was rushed to hospital by relatives. Police are still investigating the shooting. So far two persons have been questioned and released on station bail.
