His driver, Clayton Powley, 43, of Turkeyen, and the security guard of the business, Rory Deegs, 40, of Lot 7025 Herstel-ling, East Bank Demerara, were also injured.

An autopsy later showed that Stoll died as a result of a gunshot injury to the lower abdomen.

The shooting, which saw the exchange of “rapid gunfire”, unfolded around 10.15 am at Lot 63 Da Silva Street, Newtown, Kitty.
