Antonio Carlos Pereira is wanted for the murder of 24-year-old Leander Torres De Lima which was committed two weeks ago.
According to the wanted bulletin, Pereira’s last known address is Brazil and he is fair in complexion with black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Pereira is asked to contact the police, who said that all information will be treated with strict confidence.
Reports reaching Stabroek News are that around 9 am on February 22, the two had an argument over money, when the suspect pulled out a handgun and discharged a round.
De Lima who was hit in the face died before he could get any medical attention. His body was later transferred to the city by aircraft.
The suspect who Port Kaituma residents said operated a shop in Butterfly Backdam fled the area, where he had been living for about three years with his Brazilian wife.
Following the shooting a team of police ranks were dispatched to the area but after conducting investigations and failing to locate the suspect they left.
