Police still hunting serial robber Kevin Fredricks

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has issued a fresh wanted bulletin for Kevin Fredricks, who is believed to be behind a string of armed robberies and a brutal double murder last year.
According to the Police, the 21-year-old Fredricks is wanted for a series of armed robberies committed between December 4, 2023, and January 24, 2024, at Sand Hill Backdam, Cuyuni River, and at Windsor Castle on the Essequibo Coast.
Fredricks’ last known addresses are Onderneeming Sand Pit, Essequibo Coast, and Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo.
Anyone who has seen Fredricks or has information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the GPF or the nearest Police station.
Only earlier this year in April, the Police had reissued a wanted bulletin for Kevin and his twin brother, Kellon Fredricks, also known as “El Chapo”. The two brothers were being sought in connection with a series of violent crimes committed across Regions Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) and Seven between December 2023 and January 2024.
However, it was the March 2024 killing of 50-year-old businessman Zaheer Mohammed Sheriff and his 26-year-old employee Donovan Washington that remains the most heinous of the allegations. The two men were ambushed and executed as they transported over $37 million worth of raw gold from a mining camp in Arimu Backdam, Cuyuni River.
Sheriff, who operated a dredge in the interior, had left Bartica early on March 3, 2024, after offering prayers at the Masjid. He and Washington travelled to the backdam to retrieve gold that had been washed down earlier. They were on an ATV when the ambush took place. Minutes after leaving the site, gunshots rang out. Their bodies were later found on a trail with gunshot wounds, and both the gold and the sheriff’s two licensed firearms, a .32 pistol and a 12-gauge shotgun, had been stolen.
According to investigators, the attack was carried out by two masked men on a red ATV.
In the months that followed, four men were charged with the murder: 44-year-old taxi driver Teddy Thomas of Itaballi Landing; James Derrick, 20, a miner from Onderneeming; Travis Fredericks, 32, and Fernando Fredericks, 28, both miners from Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo.
Police believe Travis and Fernando are related to the wanted twin brothers.
According to the GPF, Kellon was also wanted for that double murder. They believe the brothers – described as “armed and extremely dangerous – are central figures in the deadly robbery.
In February, a 34-year-old businesswoman, Sharmalenie Neeranjan, of Supenaam, Essequibo Coast, was charged for “harbouring” the notorious and wanted twin brothers between November 2024 and February 2025.
On April 23, 2025, however, the body of 23-year-old Kellon Fredericks was found at Onderneeming Sand Pit, Essequibo Coast, with suspected gunshot wounds to his head and back.
Fredericks’ body was seen lying motionless, head facing down, in an open area surrounded by vegetation. The man’s body was clad in long black jeans and a long-sleeved jersey. Also found next to the body were a pair of rubber slippers, a black ski mask, and a grey cap with suspected blood.
The body was examined, and a gaping wound was seen on the right side of the head of the deceased, along with suspected gunshot wounds to the right side of the upper back. Both areas were covered with blood.
Crime scene ranks who processed the scene also discovered a single mattress, several empty snack packs, one live 7.62 X 39 ammunition round, two cards of Panadol tablets, and several pieces of clothing a short distance away from the body.
The Fredrick brothers, along with several others, were wanted in connection with over 30 armed robberies in Regions Two, Three, and Seven during the years 2023, 2024, and 2025, as well as for the murders of the Bartica businessman and his worker and another businessman of Adventure, Essequibo Coast.
