Man gunned down in front of Forshaw Street hotel

Sean Allister O’Brien Greene

A Canada-based man who returned to Guyana recently after he was reportedly fingered in a murder was gunned down in front of a Forshaw Street, Queens-town hotel early yesterday morning. Police last evening arrested a suspect.

Dead is Sean Allister O’Brien Greene, a father of two of Alberttown and #78 Village, Springlands, Corentyne, Berbice. Greene, who was a former US marine and lived in the US before migrating to Canada, managed the operations of a family-owned hotel, the Mahogany hotel and bar in Springlands.

The killing, which sent patrons scampering for cover, bore the hallmark of a hit but Crime Chief Lyndon Alves told Stabroek News that they are investigating a homicide and it is too early to say whether Greene’s death was a hit.
