The suspected gunman in the murder of businessman Ricardo Henriques is also a prime suspect in a botched robbery at Meadow Brook Drive in which a bandit was shot dead.
Police officials said that the suspect, who was detained on Monday, is an associate of Raheem Lewis, 20, who was slain last October at the Meadow Brook Drive residence.
Kaieteur News understands that the suspect may be placed on an identification parade today.
During that robbery, four men clambered onto a verandah and held the occupants at gunpoint.
However, the owner of the property, who is a licensed firearm holder, shot Raheem Lewis in the chest.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Michael Reid, another suspect, was detained after turning up at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) to tend to a gunshot injury.
He has since been charged.
The suspect in the killing of Henriques was nabbed last Monday in Mandela Avenue.
Two other persons who have been arrested for Henriques’s murder had claimed that the suspect was one of the gunmen who fled on a motorcycle after killing Henriques.
The D’Urban Street, Werk-en-Rust businessman was shot in the head by one of two gunmen who pounced on him at Juice Power on Middle Street last November.
The gunmen escaped with a bag containing an undisclosed sum of money that they had taken from the victim’s vehicle.
