A 63-year-old US-based Guyanese man was gunned down in his South Ruimveldt business place just before 8 last night by a lone gunman in what appears to be an execution-style killing.
Vincent Williams who at the time of his death was in his supermarket/general store located at Lot 168 Sunflower Circle, South Ruimveldt Park, was shot once in the middle of the chest. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Hospital at 8:05 pm.
Reports are that Williams, who only returned home on Tuesday and his girlfriend, were in the store when the gunman came. It is not clear exactly what transpired there but the man was reportedly given a bag with money but it was tossed aside. The gunman then shot Williams in his chest at point-blank range. Added to that, the gunman made no attempt to remove the gold rings that Williams was wearing. He then fled on the foot.
