Kaieteur News – Twenty-three-year-old Troy Rodrigues, known as “Kelly” of Leopold Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown was gunned down on Friday evening.
According to a statement from the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the incident unfolded around 19:15 hours at Vlissengen Square, between West Ruimveldt Front Road and Mandela Avenue, Georgetown.
The police reported that a 25-year-old construction worker of West Ruimveldt stated that he was in his backyard when he heard two loud explosions, which were believed to be gunshots.
