An electrician is currently nursing a gunshot wound to his neck at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), after he was shot at a Kitty residence last Friday afternoon.
The circumstances under which Devon Howell was wounded are unclear.
In a release the police said they are investigating the circumstances surrounding an incident that occurred at about 17:30h on November 21, 2014, in a home at Dandrade Street, Kitty, during which Devon Howell, 20, of Da Silva Street, Kitty, was shot and injured to his neck.
Kaieteur News understands that so far, police have not been able to confirm if Howell was also robbed during the incident.
According to the wounded man’s mother, Allison Howell, she was “at work” when the incident occurred.
She said that she received a phone call from her mother, Desiree Howell, who informed her that “Devon was shot and is at the hospital.”
The tearful mother noted that she received information that her son was shot at a residence in D’Andrade Street, where he usually “plays Nintendo with his friends”.
