Who killed Gavin Sobers?
Teen dead, man injured
Mystery and suspicion surround the circumstances under which two young men, residents of Bachelor’s Adventure East Coast Demerara (ECD), were shot —one fatally — early yesterday morning. The police are investigating.
Dead is 17-year-old Gavin Sobers, who was shot in the forehead while his fellow villager, Melroy Goodman, 26, received several gunshot wounds about the body while escaping his Church Road home.
A police press release issued yesterday afternoon said that Goodman had told the police that he and Sobers were at his home at around 2:30 am yesterday, when a person or persons unknown threw a channa bomb into the house and fired gunshots, hitting him in the abdomen. The police said Goodman jumped through a window and fled to relatives who took him to the Vigilance Police Station, where he made a report.
