It was reported that Stephens, who armed himself with a shotgun, accused Verwayne and other workers of making, “ill remarks” about his relative.
He then fired a shot. Verwayne, who was shot to the neck, was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The other worker was wounded during the shooting incident.
