Kevin Lachish, a 32-year-old coconut vendor of Broad and Lombard Streets, Georgetown, was shot twice on Thursday evening by two men on a motorcycle.
According to reports, two men on a black XR motorcycle approached Lachish at his coconut stand at about 19:30h, and one of them was armed with a handgun. During the confrontation, the armed suspect discharged three rounds at Lachish, two of which struck him to his left thigh and left wrist respectively. The suspects, who remain at large, then made a quick getaway on the motorcycle.
