Wanted bulletin issued for Queenstown murder suspect

Days after the father of 22-year-old Keyion McLennon, who was shot and killed at Queenstown, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) called for justice, the Guyana Police Force has issued a wanted bulletin for the prime suspect.

The Police have said that 27-year-old Shemroy Hackett, also known as ‘Dankey’, is wanted for questioning in relation to murder committed on Keyion Mc Lennon.
Hackett’s last known address is Queenstown, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
It has been reported that McLennon and another person, identified as “Fronto”, were allegedly shot by an ex-convict. McLennon was reportedly shot three times – twice to the arms and once to the abdomen – back in July 2021.
The Police have said that the shooting stemmed from an apparent drug deal that went wrong. However, the dead man’s father, Donald McLennon, had stated that his son and the suspect had had an altercation sometime before he was shot dead. At that time, he stated, the shooting was an act of revenge.
On July 17 last, the young miner had left his parents’ home at Queenstown, Essequibo Coast, and shortly after, his relatives received the news that he was shot and killed.

“I feel so confused…there is so much stress on my head, and nothing can take away the shock that I had lost my eldest son. He life gone so easy, and nobody ain’t telling me nothing. Nobody ain’t care, and now me and my wife have to live in grief…it isn’t fair,” the man told Guyana Times on Tuesday.
He added that since his son died, the Police are yet to provide critical information to the family. The aggrieved father’s only hope is for the family to get justice for his son’s death.
“We want this ‘Bad Boy’ who killed my son to be locked away in prison for life,” the frustrated father reiterated.
All we want is peace of mind…it’s hard…every day is hard…six months and we ain’t hear nothing, how long do we have to wait? Every time I remember him I cry. It hurt me man, it really hurt me a lot,” McLennon stated.
He further stated that spending the first Christmas without his son was not easy.
“We accustomed to sit as a family and celebrate Christmas…the year before, he buy curtains and decoration for this house… Last year we had a dark holiday…it was hard.”
Meanwhile, anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Hackett is asked to contact the Police on telephone numbers 226-7065, 227-1270, 226-7476, 227-1270, 225-6940-9, 225-3650, 226-1928, 911, or the nearest Police station.
