Execution attempt….Taxi driver in a “stable” condition

Jul 07, 2013 News

 

Leslie Woode, the taxi driver who was shot on Friday in an execution attempt remains a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) with a bullet lodged in his head and another, in his chest.
Woode, 25, of Campbellville, Georgetown was shot three times about his body around 04:00am on Friday after a green car reportedly pulled up alongside his parked white Toyota 212 on Cummings and Sixth Street, Alberttown and opened fire.
He sustained gunshot wounds to his chest, head and shoulder. The 25-year- old underwent emergency surgery on Friday and is scheduled to undergo another surgery soon.
Woode has been admitted in the hospital’s Hi-Dependency Unit (HDU) in a stable condition.
Yesterday, when Kaieteur News visited the hospital, Woode’s mother said that he is talking but “you can’t understand what he is saying. He is disoriented.”
“They tell me that a bullet is still in his head and another one is in his chest. The doctor said that they will focus on removing the one in his chest first,” the injured man’s mother related.
She added that her son’s right lung is damaged.
A little after 04:00am on Friday, Woode had reportedly dropped off a group of Brazilian dancers at Cummings Street when another car pulled up alongside his car and opened fire.
No one has been arrested as yet.
