Man opens fire on girlfriend’s friends during seawall birthday lime

A birthday lime among friends on the Georgetown seawall ended in two persons being shot after the boyfriend of one of the friends became jealous.
Injured are taxi drivers Jermaine Duncan, 32, of Cummings Park ‘E’ Field Sophia, and Sheldon Smith, 34 of Durban Street, Lodge, Georgetown.
Police said that the shooting occurred at about 23:00h on April 17 near the pump station at Kitty seawalls.
Inquiries disclosed that Smith was celebrating his 34th birthday with friends, including Jermaine Duncan when at about 22:30h, the 39-year-old suspect approached them in a white fielder wagon from a western direction and spoke to his girlfriend, who was among the gathering on the seawalls.
Police said that the woman immediately left with the man, who is a vendor. However, an hour later the man returned to the seawalls on a motorcycle approaching from a western direction and approached Smith where an argument ensued.
It is alleged that the vendor pulled out a handgun from the waist of his pants and discharged several rounds at Smith, hitting him in the upper left thigh while Duncan was shot once to his upper left side abdomen. Both men were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital. Police said that Smith has since been discharged, while Duncan is still undergoing treatment at the medical institution. Investigators have since recovered six 9mm spent shells at the scene. However, the suspect is still on the run. Investigations are ongoing.
