Controversy surrounds teen’s death

Mar 24, 2013 News

 

Controversy surrounds the death of a 17-year-old boy who was laid to rest last Friday following a funeral ceremony at his Lot 428 Grove Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara home.
Shaquille Wright passed away last Sunday at a private hospital.  His death was ruled as due to unknown causes.
On Friday, during the funeral ceremony, friends of the deceased angrily walked out of the yard.
A close family member of the dead teen told his publication that he was not at home on Sunday but when he went home, he was informed that Wright was rushed to the hospital.
“I don’t know what happened; I heard his big sister and his mother took him to the hospital and on Monday I heard he passed away.”
A few friends of the dead teen who live nearby told this publication that on Sunday, the teen was involved in a scuffle with three of his close family members.
“They were beating him and he left and he went upstairs and a little after they go to wake him, he wasn’t responding so they called a taxi and rush him to the hospital and the next day we heard he died,” Wright’s friend noted.
The friends are calling on the police to launch an investigation into what they described as the “slaying of their good friend.”
