Show footage of Cool Square shooting

Mar 09, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have read the reports in the newspaper and heard the news on television about the killing of a Canadian based Guyanese at a popular bar.
I’ve also been privileged to see footage of the actual attack on television and I was really impressed, since I was convinced that the police were given a heads up in their investigations.
One would have expected that by now wanted bulletins would have been issued for the suspects.
But this has not been the case so far.
One cannot assume that the police were able to positively identify the suspects from the footage provided since it was previously pointed out that there are new kids on the block in the criminal landscape.
However, since the footage is available, my view is that it should have been replayed repeatedly, especially on national television with a view to the public providing information on the suspects to the police.
From what I saw on television, although the footage was not too clear, it would be easy for persons who are familiar with the suspects to identify them.
I am sure that the criminal investigations department has copies of that footage.
Rather than have the detectives look at it over and over with the likelihood that they may not be able to positively identify the killers, why not provide copies to the national communications network television for periodic airing.
This is a sure way of testing if community involvement in fighting crime is really working.
Michael Anthony
