Albouystown man wounded in ‘ride-by’ shooting

An Albouystown man was shot on Thursday evening when two men rode up on bicycles and began firing in his direction.

Although Anil Sooklall was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) afterward for a gunshot wound to his right foot, he subsequently left the institution after he apparently became fearful of being arrested.

Sooklall, 31, a labourer of 61, James Street, Albouystown, was shot around 6:45pm on Thursday along James Street, police said in a statement.

The injured Sooklall was rushed to the GPH,
