Head of the police Office for Professional Responsibility (OPR) Mohamed Jameer had told the mother of the dead teen, Sharon Fraser that the report would have been completed by yesterday.

Yesterday she said she had received no word despite calling Jameer’s office. She was unable to get to speak with him. “I ain’t know what they doing. I want to know what going on”, she said. “I don’t want it to go down just like that”, the woman told Stabroek News yesterday saying she wants justice for her son.

On June 7, Fraser, a fourth form student at the Patentia Secondary School, was fatally shot during what police said was a scuffle with a rank who was attempting to arrest him.

A post-mortem examination found that he died of shock and haemorrhage from laceration of the lungs caused by gunshot injuries. The teenager was shot in the left side of his chest at close range and several pellets were retrieved from his body. He was laid to rest on June 14.

His relatives, friends and other citizens have called for justice for him saying that the policeman who shot him should be charged.
