Liliendaal resident shot in groin
A 28-year-old Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara resident was shot in his groin around 11:30 hrs Sunday night by someone wearing a hood that covered his face.
Jermaine Peters of lot 625 Liliendaal was shot in front of his yard. He is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) in a stable condition.
Jermaine Peters
Yesterday, at the hospital, Peters revealed to this publication that he had just returned from the seawall and had gone into his house to collect some money. He then left to go to a nearby shop to purchase a phone card.
“When I was coming back from the shop and was entering the yard somebody appear behind me and say don’t move,” Peters recalled.
According to Peters, although the shooter demanded him not to turn around, he turned. This may have angered his attacker and caused him to be gun-butted on his left side face, right under his eyes.
“I fall and when I try to get up, he shot me,” the construction worker said. The motive for the shooting is unclear since the gunman did not steal anything from Peters.
He said that his attacker was wearing a dark hood, covering his face so he did not recognize the person. “After I get shoot I don’t know what happen after that.” The injured man was then rushed to GPHC by his mother who was inside of the house.
Police in a statement said that about 23:20hrs Sunday, Jermaine Peters was shot by person (s) unknown.
His mother, Karen John, said that her son left home to buy a phone card, when she heard an explosion. On checking, he saw him lying on the parapet in front of their home with a gunshot wound.
