The man who was found with gunshot wounds in Sophia
A man who has not yet been identified was found on Friday evening in Sophia, Greater Georgetown with gunshot wounds about his body.
Guyana Times has been informed that the injured man was found by residents of the community draped in blood. Upon questioning, the man allegedly told the residents that he had been robbed and shot by gunmen.
In a video that was seen by this publication, residents were heard asking the man where he was from, how he ended up at the location, and for a contact number to one of his relatives. However, appearing to be in severe pain, the man was unable to communicate effectively.
One woman was heard asking, “Who is the person that shot you? You don’t know the person? Oh my God, how can people be so heartless?”
Another man in the video was heard saying that he was walking along the road in Sophia when he saw the man covered in blood lying at the corner of the road and he raised an alarm.
“I wanted to know what a man doing lying down at the corner of the road,” the man said.
An ambulance subsequently arrived on scene, and the man was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. Up until Saturday afternoon, the man did not regain consciousness.
Only a few weeks ago, four persons were injured following a shooting incident in B’ Field, Sophia. According to the Police, the victims were among a crowd that had gathered to witness a fight between two men on the access road. (G9)
