Bagotstown man killed execution-style
…shot 11 times
A 31-year-old Eccles, East Bank Demerara resident was gunned down around 21:45 hrs yesterday, reportedly by a man who called him out of his home.
Kurt David
Kurt David, of Seventh Street, Eccles, was shot at least eleven times at close range in the chest and back while standing near his front door. The police said that the victim was found inside his home.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital. Kaieteur News understands that a male relative of the slain man was at the premises at the time, but him and other relatives who rushed to the hospital declined to comment.
One relative would only say that the slain man was self-employed and the father of one.
A resident told Kaieteur News that she was at home when she heard several gunshots. When people dared to emerge from their homes they saw David’s bullet-riddled body outside his house, disputing the version offered by the police about the position of the body.
Police were unable to give a motive for the execution-style killing.
David’s death comes after a lull in execution-style killings this year.
