“Lola Doll” recovering after shooting; Paul Daby Jr remains in custody

Singer and social media personality Lolita Callender, known as “Lola Doll”, is showing signs of recovery after being shot multiple times outside her East Ruimveldt home on Saturday night. At the same time, businessman Paul Daby Junior, who surrendered to Police in connection with the attack, remains in custody as the investigation continues.
According to Police, doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) confirmed that Callender’s condition has improved since the late-night ambush that left her with gunshot wounds to the neck, face, arms, and right leg. The 33-year-old mother of two was attacked just after 23:00h as she arrived home at Texas Square, East Ruimveldt.
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.

Investigators initially arrested one suspect, who has since been released on $500,000 station bail after the 72-hour detention period expired. However, Daby Jr, a 40-year-old Georgetown businessman who surrendered to authorities earlier this week in the company of his lawyer, remains in custody and is being questioned about the shooting.
In June, the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Daby Jr and several others for alleged involvement in international cocaine trafficking networks. He was accused of helping move shipments from Colombia and Venezuela through Guyana to North America, Europe, and the Caribbean.
Police continue to review CCTV footage from utility poles and nearby properties, which shows the gunman carrying out the attack before escaping. Detectives are also examining video clips circulating online.
Sources close to Callender revealed that she had confided to friends and posted publicly on social media that a businessman had threatened her life.
The shooting shocked the East Ruimveldt community and made international headlines, with several foreign outlets covering the attack on the controversial entertainer, who is known for her expletive-laced songs, flamboyant lifestyle, and outspoken social media presence.
Police said the probe is ongoing.
