Police have found a car that they believe two gunmen used last Friday after riddling Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) engineer Trevor Abrams with bullets.
Kaieteur News understands that the Toyota 212 was located near Covent Garden.
Kaieteur News understands that police have questioned two women who were standing near the vehicle when the ranks arrived at the scene.
Yesterday, a police official confirmed that investigators are in possession of camera footage which showed the two gunmen standing on the roadway near Little Diamond and shooting at Abrams’ vehicle. The official said that investigators are working to enhance the footage, but are still to learn the motive for the attack.
Abrams, 32, of Lot 131 Samatta Point, East Bank Demerara, was driving north street light. The car ended up in a trench, between the new four-lane that is under construction.
A resident who lived in the vicinity of the shooting said he heard about five or six shots from a heavy gun.
He hurried to the front of his property where he saw the 212 giving chase behind another car, heading to the city.
He heard a loud crash and later saw a large crowd at Little Diamond with a car in the trench.
A resident said that Abrams was already dead when he was pulled from the partly submerged vehicle.
Police said they retrieved two cell phones from the slain man’s car. Abrams’s stepmother, Bridgette Abrams, said that her stepson had left home with a haversack, which contained his bank card. That haversack is now missing, she said.
Mrs. Abrams and her husband insist that that the former University of Guyana student had no enemies that they knew of.
Mrs. Abrams said that she understands that GGMC officials are going through their records in the hope of unearthing information about the reason for her stepson’s death. But she suggested that the family was not very optimistic that police would apprehend her stepson’s killers.
