Sheila Solomon is calling for an inquiry into the death of her son who was gunned down by the police and who she believes was innocent of any wrong-doing.
Solomon’s son Kevin Dillon was shot dead on March 1. Police had said that Dillon had exited a car and opened fire on them, to which they retaliated and that they had subsequently recovered a gun and ammunition from his person. However, other persons had told Solomon that her son was walking along the road when the police shot him in the leg. According to the eyewitnesses, the police then stood over him after he fell and shot him in the head.
Solomon has since spoken to President Bharrat Jagdeo and more recently to Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee pressing for an investigation. Until that happens, she is coping in the way she knows best: with prayers and keeping her faith.
