Police have charged a contractor with murder, following last Tuesday’s bizarre shooting incident in Perry Street, Tucville, that left 24-year-old excavator operator Colin Perreira dead and 22-year-old Gail Ann Chacon wounded.
The charge was reportedly instituted late yesterday afternoon. The accused is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
Perreira, of Barr Street, Kitty, and Chacon, were shot on Tuesday night, shortly after reversing a car onto the contractor’s bridge in Perry Street, Tucville.
Pereira sustained gunshot injuries to the chest and abdomen and succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital. Chacon was reportedly shot in the back and hand and is currently at the same hospital. Her condition is listed as sable.
Kaieteur News was told that Perreira and Chacon were co-workers. Perreira was preparing to drop Chacon to her residence, located a few houses away from the alleged shooter.
Kaieteur News was told that the suspect claimed that he opened fire because he had recently received death threats that same Tuesday and thought the occupants of the tinted car were the same individuals who had threatened to “finish him off.”
The injured woman’s uncle, Peter Jeffrey had said that they were at home and heard rapid gunfire and his grandchildren rushed out of the yard to see what was happening.
“They see this boy (Perreira) coming and he said he get shoot and I asked him where is Gail, and he said that she in the car, and me and her father rushed to the car and pulled her out,” Jeffrey recalled.
He said that while they were trying to get his niece out of the vehicle, the suspect was standing there with his gun in his hands.
