Teen dies weeks after being stabbed during confrontation over girl

18-year-old Joshua Faerber of Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara on Tuesday succumbed to the injuries he sustained almost one month ago, when he was stabbed by another teen in Tucville, Georgetown in a confrontation over a female. At the time of his demise, he was being treated at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Guyana Times understands that, on January 18, 2023, Faerber was in the company of another teen in Tucville when a 17-year-old male approached him and accused him of having a relationship with his girlfriend. An argument ensued between the two teenagers, and the 17-year-old left the scene, but returned with a knife, with which he dealt Faerber several stabs to his body.
When the injured Faerber collapsed, the suspect, upon realizing what he had done, disposed of the weapon and made good his escape.
Faerber was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he had undergone emergency surgery. He was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital, and he remained there in unconscious condition until his demise on Tuesday.
It was reported that the 17-year-old suspect had been arrested and charged with attempted murder, but following Faerber’s death, this teen suspect is now expected to be charged with murder.
