The police are hunting for the two suspects who shot and killed 40-year-old Orlando Cruz after he refused to perform oral sex on one of the men.
The suspects have been identified as Joey Kerr and Eustace.
This incident happened last Thursday around 13:00 hrs at Jack and Vieira Backdam, North West District.
The victim of Pomeroon River was shot to the right side neck and pronounced dead at the Pakera District Hospital, Matthews Ridge, North West Region.
According to reports, the victim was lying in a hammock in his camp when the two suspects visited him after which they began consuming high wine and water.
Shortly after, one of the suspects was heard telling Cruz to perform oral sex on him but when the 40-year-old man refused, an argument erupted between the three men.
The suspect allegedly collected a cartridge from the second suspect and loaded his shotgun. He then placed the weapon to the right side of the victim’s neck and pulled the trigger.
The two suspects then made good their escape into nearby bushes. This newspaper was informed that when a rank visited the scene, the victim was found lying in the hammock, bleeding from the wound.
No spent shell was recovered at the scene but two High Wine bottles were found.
