Suspected getaway car found torched at Blue Water Lake

…dead man’s body riddled with 9 bullets – PME

The motor car that was involved in the drive-by shooting that has left one dead and one critical was found torched at Blue Water Lake, Kara Kara, Linden, on Sunday

Police stated that a party of policemen was on patrol duty in the vicinity of Blue Water Lake when they observed a fully burnt silver-grey Fielder wagon on the southern side of Blue Lake Access Road.
Twenty-three-year-old Delron McKenzie of Roxanne Burnham Gardens, East La Penitence, Georgetown, was shot and killed on Saturday evening during a drive-by shooting at Sunflower Street, Wismar, Linden. His friend Calvin Daly was also shot and injured during the incident.

However, Police confirmed that a post-mortem performed on the body of McKenzie showed that he was shot at least nine times. In addition, two metal fragments were also retrieved from the deceased’s head and back.
The autopsy was performed by Government pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh at the Memorial Gardens Mortuary on Monday. The Police also stated that a wanted bulletin was issued for the arrest of the suspect who has since gone into hiding.
After the shooting incident on Saturday evening Daly reportedly told Police that he and his now dead friend arrived in Linden at about 21:00h via public transportation and went to a popular fast-food place to make a purchase.
While at the location, Daly said McKenzie was given directions from his female friend to join a boat at the Mackenzie shore.
On arrival at the Wismar shore, the man called the female and was given further directions but a short while after she called him back and told him to turn around since she would be sending a car to pick them up.
The injured man further stated that they then walked out of Sunflower Street, where they saw a silver wagon car turned around and as Delron McKenzie approached the car to open the back door, a man opened the door first and started to shoot at him while another male exited from the front passenger seat and also discharged a few rounds.
Daly said he ran for cover. He told Police that the car had three male occupants at the time but he did not recognise any of them. He said that following the shooting, the men re-joined the car and drove in a southern direction towards Silver City Street.
The injured man told Police that he did not know the female who McKenzie was going to meet.
Daly received two gunshot wounds on the left and right lower arm with abrasions to both of his arms. He was escorted to the Linden Hospital Complex where he was admitted a patient and scheduled to be transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation for surgery.
McKenzie, on the other hand, was picked up and taken to the Linden Hospital Complex where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Investigations are continuing.
