Kaieteur News – Police are investigating the alleged fatal shooting committed on Pedro Alexander Frometa Slonchak, a 34-year-old Cuban national, which occurred Sunday morning at Real Value Supermarket located on Thomas and Church Streets, Georgetown.

In a statement, police said that the suspect, Kelvin Belgrave, a 25-year-old Security Guard employed with KGM Security Service and a resident of Sophia, was subsequently arrested and is in custody assisting with the investigation.

Investigations revealed that the security guard was armed with a service Pistol and 8 rounds of ammunition. On the date and time mentioned, he was on duty at the supermarket when he saw the victim repeatedly going in and out of the supermarket.

As a result, the guard said he approached the man to enquire about his problem, and the man held on to him and they had a scuffle. At the time, the Cuban national had a knife, and the guard said he disarmed him of the knife, after which he dealt the man one stab to his right shoulder and one to his head. He then drew his firearm and discharged six rounds in the direction of the Slonchak. The male received four gunshot wounds; one to his right chest, two to his left abdomen and one to his left knee. He fell to the ground and was later pronounced dead. The security guard was arrested and is in custody, assisting with the investigation.
