When Kaieteur News visited the scene, his body was covered with a brown cloth and was lying on the street in a pool of blood, a short distance away from his Lot 2 Drysdale Street, Charlestown, home. Three spent shells were seen near the body and a trail of even more spent shells was observed leading to the victim’s bicycle which was found in an alleyway close to his home.
An eyewitness related that Yearwood was attacked in an alleyway leading to his yard. That person recalled him having a heated conversation with an individual.
Shortly after Yearwood was slaughtered, a lone gunman was seen running away from the scene. Detectives were told that he was Lenroy Michael Forde. Based on preliminary information received by investigators, the shooting stemmed from an argument between the two over a robbery “Biggie” had committed.
