Alleged phone thief shot by plainclothes cop

Jun 02, 2013 News

 

A 25-year-old man is nursing a gunshot wound to his left foot at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Injured is Orondel Williams of Lot 83 Leopold and Breda Streets, Georgetown. Williams was reportedly shot by a plainclothes policeman at around 22:15hrs on Friday in the vicinity of Lombard and Leopold Streets.
Speaking with this publication, Williams, a baker, said he went to purchase food from a vendor in front of Demico House and was heading home when he noticed three persons at a corner on Lombard and Leopold Streets fighting.
“After I see them fighting, I tried to pull in a corner and then I hear ‘pow’ and my foot feel weak, weak and I fall down,” Williams recalled.
He explained that after he fell to the ground, he was approached by a man who identified himself as a police and was pointing a gun at his (William’s) head. The man wanted to know “where the other two deh.”
“When he point the gun to me, I see when the men run away and this man didn’t show me any identification or anything. He just say he is a police,” the wounded man claimed.
However, a police source told Kaieteur News that Williams allegedly tried to rob a woman of her cellular phone and was shot by the rank.
“That is not true, I didn’t rob anyone, I buy food and I was going home,” Williams told Kaieteur News yesterday.
