Two men have been arrested for the Saturday night attack that left the 25-year-old father of two dead.
According to police, at about 20:30hrs Saturday evening, Bourne, of James and Barr Streets, Albouystown, was standing on the roadway at Cooper Street, Albouystown, when a vehicle drove by from which shots were discharged. Lloyd Bourne was struck to his chest and was later pronounced dead on arrival at a private hospital.
Relatives further disclosed that Bourne’s ‘Child Mother’ died three weeks ago of cancer and his death leaves a gaping hole within the family, since his 11-month old son will be growing up without his biological parents.
“A boy ran upstairs and tell me he hear Lloyd get shot. We were calling his phone and a Doctor at Balwant Singh Hospital answer and said to come down quickly, he didn’t tell us nothing else, he just hang up the phone. When we reach he was already transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was carried to the morgue,” an in-law lamented.
The shooting follows that of the recent controversial killing of 28-year-old career criminal, Adrian Bishop.
Bishop who had a lengthy criminal record was arrested for assaulting a policewoman with whom he allegedly had a relationship. Police stated that a mobile police patrol had responded to a policewoman’s report that Bishop had assaulted her in Albouystown.
The ranks, accompanied by the policewoman, went to Hill Street, Albouystown, where Bishop of Garnett Street, Kitty, was pointed out to them. Bishop was subsequently shot in the neck by a police constable after he tried resisting arrest.
