Man stabbed to death during Leopold Street confrontation

Mar 19, 2026 News

(Kaieteur News) – A 56-year-old man of no fixed place of abode was on Tuesday night fatally stabbed during an altercation at Leopold and Cross Streets, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown.

The deceased has been identified as Michael Dazzell.

According to the Guyana Police Force, the incident occurred around 19:30hrs.

It was reported that Dazzell was standing in an alleyway on the eastern side of Cross Street, when the suspect who was riding a bicycle on the roadway got involved in a confrontation with Dazzell.

During the conflict, the suspect allegedly armed himself with a pair of scissors and stabbed Dazzell several times about his body.

The injured man reportedly ran through the alleyway before collapsing.

Emergency Medical Technicians were summoned, and a doctor from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation later pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators recovered a pair of scissors believed to be the weapon, along with a pair of pants bearing suspected blood stains, from a residence linked to the suspect. A black pedal cycle was also found at the location. However, the suspect is yet to be apprehended.

Dazzell’s body is currently at the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem examination.
