See below the full statement from the Guyana Police Force:
On April 28, 2025, at approximately 19:00 hrs, police ranks responded to a report of an armed robbery in progress at Camp and Quamina Streets, Georgetown.
Ranks were on patrol in Force motor vehicles when they received the alert and proceeded immediately to the scene. Upon arrival, they observed four identifiable male suspects actively robbing a man, later identified as Shurlan Critchlow, a 43-year-old security guard.
On seeing the police, the suspects fled in various directions along Camp and Quamina Streets. During the pursuit, one of the ranks observed one of the suspects draw a firearm from his waist and point it in his direction. In response, the rank, who was armed with his service weapon discharged one round at the suspect.
The suspect ran west along Quamina Street before collapsing onto the roadway. A 9mm Ruger pistol bearing serial number TVK 99217, along with three matching rounds of ammunition, was recovered next to him.
The injured suspect, later identified as Orandy Samuel, was immediately transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment. He sustained a gunshot wound to the left side of his face.
Investigations are ongoing.
