(Kaieteur News) – A businessman was shot and robbed during an armed hold-up at his supermarket in Liliendaal on Sunday afternoon.
Police reported that Kashief Rodney, 36, of 332 Section A, Block X, Liliendaal, was in the cashier area of Rodney Supermarket at about 12:41 hrs when two men of African descent entered the store. One of the men was armed with a handgun, clad in a blue and grey jumper with “SLB” on the back, a black full-face ski mask, and black-and-white slippers.
The armed suspect reportedly fired two rounds, striking Rodney in the upper right thigh, before taking a gold metal chain and approximately $200,000 GYD. The robbers then fled on a black, red, and white XR Honda motorcycle driven by the second suspect.
Rodney was rushed to St. Joseph Mercy Private Hospital, where he is receiving treatment for his gunshot wound.
Police processed the scene, recovering one bullet fragment and two 9mm spent shells. Investigators canvassed the area and are reviewing CCTV footage from the supermarket and the command center, while several witnesses are being questioned.
