DEAD: Oswald Rambarran

Oswald Rambarran, a 007 taxi driver, Sunday night in King Edward Street, Albouystown. The taxi driver had been called by a resident to deliver a meal.
Rambarran, 42, also known as ‘Downs’ of Middle Road, La Penitence, was shot in the head around 21:30hrs while drinking with a resident of Lot 139 King Edward Street, Albouystown, and two other men, who fled the scene unharmed.
Kaieteur News understands that detectives have so far taken statements from three individuals, one of whom witnessed the shooting. They were not detained.
A police source said that six spent shells were recovered from the crime scene.
It is alleged that after dropping off the meal, Rambarran sat at a table outside the house with the resident and two others. They were reportedly drinking when two men rode up on motorcycles, drew guns and opened fire hitting Rambarran in the head.
The father of four died shortly after at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Based on reports, in June 2008, Rambarran was remanded to prison on a charge of escaping from lawful custody. It was alleged that he escaped from the GPHC, where he was being treated for gunshot wounds.
According to reports, Rambarran was shot during a high speed chase with police on mobile patrol after he and an accomplice were caught forcing a man into the trunk of a motorcar.
