The man who was shot and killed by police just over a week ago outside the Georgetown Prison has been positively identified as Shane Scipio, a resident of the night shelter and a former psychiatric patient.
Acting Crime Chief Hugh Jessemy confirmed the man’s identity.
Scipio allegedly attacked a police officer last Friday evening after he was approached about his disorderly behaviour. He was shot once to his abdomen outside the Georgetown Prison at Camp and D’Urban streets and died while receiving medical attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).
