He then went across the road to urinate when a motor car driven by the suspect approached at a fast rate, with bright lights on, and stopped where Gendalall was relieving himself.
The suspect exited the car, and an argument started between him and the victim. Gendalall dealt the suspect a cuff and het entered his vehicle and drove off.

The suspect and five masked men then disembarked and ran into the yard towards Gendalall, where a scuffle ensued, resulting in the victim being stabbed in his chest. He fell to the ground, and the men ran out of the yard. An alarm was raised and Gendalall was rushed to West Demerara Regional Hospital where he was treated by a doctor and died while receiving medical attention.
