A Guyanese who was once named as the mastermind behind the lobbing of a grenade outside the Kaieteur News’ office in 2016 was yesterday shot and killed while sitting in a car in Suriname, according to Waterkant.Net.

Shemar Wilson, said to be 26, who was also reportedly wanted in French Guiana for murder, was sitting in a car when a gunman fired several shots into it, hitting him in the head, abdomen, chest, arms and legs. The shooter then escaped in another car.

The report said no motive had been identified for the shooting, but residents told the news agency that two persons who were also in the car left the scene with what is believed to be a large quantity of cash. A woman who was in the vehicle is now assisting the police in their investigation.
