Shaquille Grant PI for decision on Monday

Dec 22, 2012 News

The Preliminary Inquiry into the shooting death of 17-year-old Agricola Shaquille Grant closed yesterday.  Ruling is however deferred to Monday because the prosecution is yet to reply to defense submissions.
Grant, of 12 BB Eccles, East Bank Demerara, was killed on September 11 when ranks on a mobile police patrol swooped down on a group of young men in a yard at Caesar Street, Agricola.
Heavily-armed police ranks reportedly arrived at the Third Street, Agricola, location after receiving word of a suspected robbery in motion.
The ranks allegedly swarmed over the back fence, surprising a group of young men gathered in a yard, under a shed while other policemen in a pickup at the same time converged at the front of the yard, effectively locking the group in.
Police in a press release on the day of the shooting had said that the ranks came under fire and they returned fire, fatally wounding Grant, while Romel Bollers, 20, of Brutus Street, Agricola, was also shot.
Police also said that a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver was recovered at the scene.
According to the police, they had received information that a gang in Agricola was planning a robbery on a business entity located near the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
