Kuru Kururu man charged for West Ruimveldt fatal shooting

More than one week after 43-year-old Dexter Horsham was shot and killed at West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, 34-year-old Anthony LaRose was arraigned for the heinous crime.
LaRose of Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and was required to plead to the indictable charge.
Police stated that on August 10, while in the company of others, LaRose murdered Horsham. LaRose was remanded to prison until September 7, 2023.
Dexter Horsham, 43, was fatally shot and chopped while trying to protect a soldier from a mob of men who came to evict him from the house he has been occupying with his young son and pregnant wife, according to his sister.

The incident has also left the now-dead man’s cousin, Corwyne Abrams, a 38-year-old taxi driver from Charlestown, Georgetown, injured. It was reported that Ezekiel Subhan, a 25-year-old Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Lance Corporal, who resides at Lot 426 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was at home with his 23-year-old reputed wife when he heard someone knocking at his door and calling for “inside”.
As a result, Subhan went out to the front door, looked outside and saw a man at the door who told him to remove from the house.
“The man claimed that he bought the house from his (Subhan’s) great-uncle. However, Subhan told the man that he was not going anywhere and that he should get the Police involved since he did not come with a document of ownership for the property,” said a Police report.
As a result, they argued, and six other identifiable men exited a black pick-up vehicle with registration number GLL 7950 and aggressively entered the yard and rushed to the GDF rank.
By then, a crowd had gathered, which included the victim, Dexter Horsham.
A fight then broke out, and one of the men who came out of the pick-up vehicle and who was armed with a handgun discharged three rounds.
Horsham and his nephew were struck by the bullets. They were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where Horsham was pronounced dead. After committing the act, the group of men went back into the vehicle and drove off the scene.
The Police have since issued a wanted bulletin for 33-year-old Majesty Anthony Fernandes of 1690 National Avenue, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
