Rafael Jordan, 21, of Prince William Street, Plaisance, was pronounced dead yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
According to reports, Jordan allegedly robbed a 17-year -old student of the Plaisance Community High School and had chopped his victim with a cutlass to relieve him of his cellular phone.
But a short while later, Jordan was confronted by the police and in his efforts to resist arrest, he was shot in the right thigh.
He was under guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Police in a press release stated that about 13: 40 hours on Thursday, the suspect who gave his name as Rafael Jordan was shot and injured by a policeman during efforts to arrest him.
Jordan was positively identified as the perpetrator by the victim of the robbery. He was pointed out to the police by the victim of another armed robbery as one of two persons who had robbed him at gunpoint of $150,000 at Victoria Road, Plaisance, last November.
According to an eyewitness, he heard two gunshots and Jordan screamed and fell to the ground. Then a neighbour started begging for him, however, Jordan was picked up and dashed into the police pick-up. Then news came of his death early yesterday morning from his cousin.
According to a resident, the man had no weapon and had not attacked the police officers. However, he was still killed. “He gon get a trophy for dis cause he ain’t kill nobody yet,” one resident related what he heard a police officer say.
