Family calls for impartial probe after youth’s death in alleged shootout

Quindon Bacchus

The family of 23-year-old Quindon Bacchus, the man who was killed during an alleged shootout with the Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Friday, is calling for an impartial investigation into his death.

Bacchus, of Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara, was shot dead at the Haslington New Scheme, also on the East Coast, during a Police sting operation gone awry.

The police reported that minutes earlier Bacchus, said to be a gold miner, had been in the process of selling a gun to the plain clothes lawman.
