A taxi driver on Tuesday evening sustained a gunshot injury while being robbed in Castello Housing Scheme, La Penitence, Georgetown.
The injured man has been identified as 48-year-old Jermaine Davis, also called ‘Big Red’, of Lot 62 Howes Street Charlestown, Georgetown.
Injured: Jermaine Davis
Based on reports received, Davis was riding motorcycle CD 8646 through a street in Castello Housing Scheme when he was approached by two men on a motorcycle. The pillion rider reportedly discharged two rounds in Davis’s direction, and one hit him to the left thigh, causing him to fall to the ground.
The pillion rider then disembarked the motorcycle and confiscated Davis’s mobile phone, which was in his front right-side pants pocket, before he and his accomplice fled the scene.
Davis was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where, up to press time, he was being treated. His condition is regarded as stable.
Police have recovered one spent shell at the scene as investigations continue.
