Dead: Reginald Atherly, who was known as ‘Reggie’ and ‘Diesel Boss’

A well-known Guyhoc Park, East La Penitence mechanic was shot and killed in the wee hours of yesterday morning during a scuffle with two gunmen, who invaded his home in what appeared to be an attempted robbery.

Reginald Atherly, 44, known as ‘Reggie’ and ‘Diesel Boss,’ was shot several times about his body, including to his abdomen, during the attack, which occurred around 4 am at his Lot G26 Guyhoc Park home. He was later pronounced dead on arrival to the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Crime Chief (ag) Michael Kingston, when contacted for a comment yesterday, told Sunday Stabroek that several persons were being questioned up to yesterday afternoon and investigators were checking the area for possible CCTV footage.
