Kaieteur News understands that the suspect reportedly became annoyed and picked up a knife and attacked the teen and his mother. This resulted in the teen being stabbed to his right hip.
The suspect then fled the scene, while Isaiah and his mother were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital by their relatives. However, tests were conducted on the injured woman and her son and Isaiah’s test came back positive for COVID-19. As such he was transferred to the Liliendaal facility where he subsequently died. His body is presently at the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Moreover, Isaiah’s mom is presently hospitalised in a stable condition and the suspect is yet to be apprehended.
