the second time a week ago Outar lost the fight for his life. Yesterday Outar succumbed around 14:30hrs in the Intensive Care Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Outar, a former policeman during the crime wave of the early 2000s, had been running a bar for the past several years. He was sitting outside his business place at 143 Second Street, Rose Hall, Berbice, when a lone gunman walked up to him and pumped seven bullets into his body.
According to reports, after Outar was shot, his wife Meshell noticed a lone gunman calmly walking out of their sports bar and boarding a waiting car, in which he escaped.
Neighbours who heard the gunshots, rushed to the scene only to see the badly wounded Outar lying on the ground with blood pouring from his wounds.
He was then rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where he succumbed.
Back in 2002, he was shot in his foot when gunmen from the village of Buxton attacked the patrol vehicle that he was driving in the Coldingen area.
Constable Alleyne was killed while Constable Cruickshank and Corporal Geness (now Chief Inspector Geness) were wounded. The patrol vehicle was later set on fire by the gunmen.
Outar Leaves to mourn his wife and four children.
