Guyanese woman shot dead in Antigua electronic store
Police in Antigua are reportedly investigating the circumstances surrounding a shooting incident yesterday at Heritage Quay, which left a 38-year-old Guyanese woman, who last resided at Jennings, dead.
Dead: Susan Powell
According to the CaribArena news website last evening, while the circumstances surrounding the incident are yet sketchy, it is believed that around 13:15hrs, a lone gunman entered the First Gadget store at Heritage Quay. During the attempted robbery at that electronic store, Susan Powell was shot dead.
The report, while not naming Powell, said that she is employed as a sales person. Antigua media workers confirmed that the dead woman is Susan Powell.
The district doctor, Dr. Moulon, later arrived on the scene and pronounced her dead. There was widespread anger over the shooting yesterday with fears of possible repercussions in that downtown area which is frequented by tourists, especially from the calling cruise vessels.
Several irate persons questioned the rising crime situation in Antigua and the perception of easy access to guns. Yesterday, the Police appealed for assistance in gathering details of the crime.
