Police officials have confirmed that Popular Radio personality Curtis “Dj Casual” Armstrong, 34, and Sean Hinds, may have known their assailant who shot them, in the parking lot of the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
The two men were shot early Monday morning after an argument over “ice” erupted just after the Easter Fest show had concluded. Kaieteur News was told that Armstrong got into a bitter argument with some men over ice during the show. The argument “died down” after several patrons had urged them to stop.

He spent several hours in surgery before he was taken to the recovery unit just after lunchtime yesterday.

One senior police official yesterday told Kaieteur News that investigators are waiting to speak to the victims to get details about the shooter. Investigations are still continuing.
